What We Accomplished
In this quarter, we released new 2011.1 versions of WPF Studio and Silverlight Studio. WPF Studio got a new QR Code 2D bar code, MVVM and Prism support for Docking/MDI, and new Calculator, Rating, and FanPanel controls. Silverlight Studio got new Bar Code and Wizard products, along with Rating and FanPanel controls.
SyntaxEditor in both WPF and Silverlight received a ton of new updates. Our LL(*) Parser Framework (used to build text parsers) now supports typed AST node creation, it got numerous new callback and error handling features, the Language Designer can now code generate AST node types, and .NET 4 text rendering enhancements were added.
The first version of the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on was launched for both WPF and Silverlight, which provides syntax highlighting, parsing, AST generation, syntax error reporting, and automatic outlining for C# and VB when editing in SyntaxEditor.
We launched a large update to our Icons Essentials product that brings the total number of icons up to over 30,000 images. We added a new Icons Elements product that lets you build your own customized icons by combining the elements with other existing icons to give them new meaning.
What’s Coming Next
We’re currently working on numerous enhancements for our Docking/MDI product. We’ve also started on a new product that will provide themes for native controls that match themes for our custom controls. This has been highly requested by our customers.
Finally we’re continuing to work very hard to build our next generation SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on. Our goal with the add-on is to get automated IntelliPrompt starting to function in the coming weeks while editing C# and VB.
