Shipping again 24 Jan 2008 09:45

Shipping a new product is always a great feeling and on Tuesday we announced the release of one of our new WPF Controls, a native WPF property grid :)

One of the definite advantages of using WPF is its ability to allow total control over the theming and rendering of your controls. One of the disadvantages at the moment is a lack of good native controls which give you the functionality you need but also the control and performance you are looking for when building your apps - there are definitely plenty of new tips and tricks you need when building WPF apps. What we found when first building out our WPF applications was that there are plenty of WinForms based interop controls, but they really just fail to hit the mark visually or simply underperform.

With that in mind we set off on building out some WPF controls of our own, and the Property Grid is our initial offering in this space (since Ribbons and DataGrids seem to be overly catered for right now) - so if you are looking at building WPF apps soon then check out what we have to offer, and if we dont have a control that you are looking for then post us a note in the forums - you never know, we might well have something cooking in the labs waiting for you ;)
