Today I wanted to give a quick update on the status of development here at Actipro.
First for our Docking/MDI for WPF product, we have the recently-announced MVVM features complete and ready to go. We previously asked for beta testers to help try out the new features and have a list of customers waiting to try them out.
Before we get the beta out, we’re trying to get Prism (Composite WPF) integration completed as well since a number of the MVVM customers were using it and would find these features very helpful. We should have the beta ready for the first or second week of January.
Second, we have been continuing work on the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF. The C# grammar is looking great so far and we should have its unit tests complete in the coming days.
We’ve begun work on the VB grammar and are continuing to move forward on it each day.
We’d like to start a list of beta testers for the .NET Languages Add-on too. The add-on’s beta test will focus on usage of the advanced C# language to parse documents in the background as they are edited, thus producing an AST, reporting parse errors via squiggle lines, and driving automatic outlining (code folding). Once the VB grammar is complete, we’ll want help testing the same features for it too.
If you are a customer and are interested in helping test these upcoming features out, please e-mail us or comment in this post. Make sure you indicate which features you’d like to test.
