We've been hard at work over here on several new products for WPF Studio. The first that I've been posting about is the WPF Docking and MDI product. The Docking product is one of the new products that will be part of WPF Studio v4.0.
But we also have one other unannounced product coming to WPF Studio v4.0, and that is Actipro Gauge for WPF. We're very excited to have teamed up with NextWave to help enhance their forthcoming gauge product and include a split of the code as an Actipro branded product, and part of WPF Studio.
