Announcing WPF Elements 14 Apr 2008 10:49

Hot on the heels of our very popular WPF Property Grid, we have followed up with a line of business focused control suite for WPF which we feel provides the "essential" controls for anyone developing line of business applications.


We have called this new offering WPF Elements and it includes the following controls:

  • WPF Multicolumn TreeView control
  • WPF Currency Text box
  • WPF Integer Text box
  • WPF Numeric Text box
  • WPF Masked Text box
  • WPF DateTimePicker
  • WPF DropDownDatePicker
  • WPF MonthCalendar
  • WPF Spin control (aka up-down control)
  • WPF Spin decorator
  • WPF DropDownEditBox
  • WPF ProportionalStackPanel
If you are doing any WPF development, download the trial and give the controls a spin - if you like them, then you can pick a copy from our online store. Also if you are interested in the Property Grid then you might like to take advantage of our "Controls Combo" special which will let you buy the Enterprise Edition of both the Property Grid and Elements for only $50 more than one of the single packages - nice! :)

If you have any feedback or queries, drop us a line in the online forums - we look forward to getting your thoughts! :)

Congrats Ivan! 02 Apr 2008 17:25

As I mentioned in my last post, yesterday was an MVP award day. The notifications actually are centred around the US timezone, so they have been streaming out today.



So it is my pleasure to also announce that Ivan Towlson has been awarded an MVP award for C# development. Ivan has been very active on the local mailing lists tirelessly answering questions and making a great contribution to the community. Not only that, but he has been heavily involved with the local user groups presenting nationally on WPF (a subject which he is very much an expert on!)

Congrats Ivan!!

Congrats JD! 02 Apr 2008 16:07



Yesterday a new round of MVP's were awarded, including my fellow Mindscape director John-Daniel, who was awarded for his technical expertise in ASP.NET.

Congrats JD!!

If you have not heard much about the award, you can learn more about it from the MVP Community Site..
