I know, I know. You're anxiously awaiting the DXperience v2008 vol.2 beta and all we seem to be doing is releasing new minor releases of v2008 vol.1. [UPDATE: Thu 3-Jul, 6am Mountain time - v2008.1.6 has just been released.] A bit of background: there was an issue with editing in the ASPxGridView...

Someone in WinForms R&D obviously finished his work early and decided to add something we've been talking about for a little while: formatted text for labels and such like. It's not in the Release Candidate, but will be in the v2008 vol 2 release itself. The Label, CheckEdit, and GridView...
