Our last release broke new ground by introducing the first suite of ASP.NET MVC controls specifically targeting mobile devices. Now, Essential Studio 2012 Volume 1 builds upon that groundwork by adding 12 new controls to our Mobile MVC suite.
This release also introduces Essential Grid for Mobile MVC, the only grid for ASP.NET MVC designed specifically for mobile devices, allowing you to harness all that mobile has to offer without compromise.
Also within our User Interface Edition, you’ll find extensive enhancements to the Gantt control, simplifying project management, and our map control, which adds Bing Maps integration. Within our reporting suite, you’ll find a fully client-side RDL reporting engine that generates standard reports without needing a server license.
