Features

  • Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax. It was designed to look like a plain text, and to be easy-to-read and easy-to-write.
    • While it is easy to create Markdown using a plain text editor, a possibility to create Markdown documents using a rich text editor (like the TRichView component) is still useful.
    • Markdown is widely used as a format of articles and notes in CMS, issue tracking systems, web sites (including GitHub, Stackoverflow, Jira).
  • New methods of TRichView:
    • SaveMarkdown, SaveMarkdownToStream - saving a whole document or a selected fragment as Markdown to a file or a stream.
  • New properties of TRichView:
    • MarkdownProperties - This property is also added to ScaleRichView editor (TSRichViewEdit) and to DevExpress editor (TcxTRichViewEdit).
  • In RichViewActions, TrvActionExport ("File | Export" command) can export to Markdown files.
  • The following content can be saved:
    • text with emphasis (italic) and strong emphasis (bold) attributes (determined differently when StyleTemplates (named styles) are used)
    • headings
    • horizontal lines ("break" items)
    • multilevel bullets an numbering
    • block quotes (if StyleTemplates (named styles) are used, paragraphs of certain styles are exported as block quotes)
    • hyperlinks
    • images
    • tables (optionally)
    • footnotes (optionally)
• Target DPI for TRVReportHelper
  • TRVReportHelper is a component used to draw documents on the specified canvas.
  • Before this version, this component always used the canvas pixel depth, which is either a printer or a screen DPI.
  • Since this version, you can assign TargetPixelsPerInch to override this DPI and make the output independent of the screen DPI.

Adds new BreakEven chart and grid template functions and column pinning.

Features

• Important Changes to Licensing - Starting with 2020 v2, ComponentOne is issuing a new serial key and licensing system. If you have an active subscription, then there's nothing you'll need to do right away. When you renew or activate a new machine, you'll want to check out how to use the new GrapeCity License Manager. Along with the new licensing system, developers building Microsoft .NET Core, MVC Core, Blazor, Xamarin, and UWP apps no longer need to use the runtime app keys. GrapeCity have improved the licensing to validate within the NuGet build scripts so once your machine is activated - you are good to go when building your app. No more runtime app keys and no more licenses.licx files.

• FlexGrid for MVC Checkbox Selection and Boolean Checker - The 2020 v2 release of FlexGrid for MVC includes a selector that adds checkboxes for row selection. This is very useful on mobile devices, which have no keyboards with shift and control keys for extended selections.

This feature enables calling functions at runtime to create custom cells. 2020 v1 added the ability to pin a column at runtime to freeze it. This update enhances this feature so that a user can pin a range of columns or a single column.
• FlexChart for MVC BreakEven Chart - FlexChart now supports BreakEven charts for MVC.
• New MultiSelectListBox Control for MVC - The new MultiSelectListBox control is an advanced ListBox that supports checkboxes for each item and the ability to filter items.
• FileManager Local Storage, New Layouts and Themes - The FileManager for ASP.NET MVC now supports local storage in addition to cloud storage.
• New C1ControlPanel Install UX - In this release, you'll also notice a new user experience when installing or updating any ComponentOne product. Inspired by the Microsoft Visual Studio Updater, the panel on the right of the installer gives you detailed information about what will be performed. You can install and update a version of the product and select which Microsoft .NET Framework version, samples, and see what common tools are getting installed, as the new GrapeCity License Manager.

New FilterEditor lets users build complex filter expressions.
