Syncfusion, Inc., a leading provider of ASP.NET, Windows Forms and Back Office components for the .NET platform, announces its latest release: Essential Studio v5.2

Just a few months after the release of major new version of Essential Studio (v5), this release greatly improves upon an already impressive product. Essential Studio v.5.2 builds on strengths from the last version and offers enhanced Office 2007 controls, seamless Vista integration, an expanded number of AJAX-enabled controls and an all-new PDF library.

All of the changes and additions have been developed to improve ease of use, expand capabilities and reduce time spent coding.

Stefan Hoenig, CEO of Syncfusion, is confident that users will be pleased with the new version. “Essential Studio 5.1 was extremely well received. The response was extremely positive and helpful. Customers called in with feedback on additional features and enhancements that they would like to see. And we listened. The result is what you see in version 5.2. Simply put, version 5.2 takes developer productivity on the .NET platform to a completely new level. Whether it is the enhanced Office 2007 features or the new PDF library, I am sure that you will be impressed with the additional benefits in the new release.”

A few examples of improvements for the ASP.NET platform include brand-new Splitter Control features in Essential Tools and a new Inline Form Editing tool in Essential Grid.

For the Windows Form platform, Syncfusion has added additional Office 2007 features such as Customized Office2007 colors, Improved Office2007 Tabs and Office 2007 Style Scrollbars in Essential Tools and Essential Grid as well as several features to improve palettes in Essential Chart.

The Back Office platform will benefit from changes like newly added support for Excel 2007 in Essential XlsIO, improved form filling, table enhancement and preservation in Essential DocIO and a support for HTML web page pagination and advanced digital signature support in Essential PDF.

Version 5.2 is a substantial release and includes more than 50 new features and components across the entire software suite. Details and descriptions about each of these can be found at http://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/v52info.aspx.
