Syncfusion Introduces Excel Editor in Vol. 3 Release


Award-winning product also provides unmatched support for HTML5 controls

RTP, N.C. – August 9, 2011 – Syncfusion, an enterprise technology provider of .NET components and controls, today announced the release of a new version of its award-winning Essential Studio Enterprise Edition. This latest version provides the most comprehensive suite of components and controls for .NET, enabling developers to create rich applications, and integrate business intelligence analysis and reporting solutions. With this release, Syncfusion enhances its HTML5 tool bag, and introduces Spreadsheet control, Gantt control, and a PDF viewer for Windows Presentation Foundation and Silverlight (WPF-SL).

“Syncfusion once again delivers on its commitment to enable developers to deliver innovative solutions on the .NET platform,” said Daniel Jebaraj, vice president, Syncfusion. “Not only have we added a full-fledged spreadsheet control with excellent support for the direct-editing of Microsoft Excel files, an industry first on the WPF-Silverlight platform, but we also continued to add HTML5 controls to ensure that our customers have the necessary tools to build cutting-edge applications.”

With the benefits of the HTML tool bag, Syncfusion confirms Essential Diagram for ASP.NET MVC as a full-fledged, HTML5-ready diagramming control and supports the creation of more powerful platforms with existing .NET skills.

“Developers leveraging Syncfusion’s components and controls will receive the same service-oriented approach with regard to HTML5 as they have had with our other .NET components and controls,” added Jebaraj.


Key new features include:

  • HTML5 – Add HTML5 to a website with new Upload, Rating, and ProgressBar controls.
  • Fast, lightweight, full-fledged PDF – Easy to implement native .NET control PDF reader provides visualizations without Adobe, meaning developers don’t have to involve another control.
  • Spreadsheet control – Provides an application with Excel-like functionality by including a built-in ribbon toolbar, formula support and custom configuration. The spreadsheet editor allows visualization of Excel files in an application without relying on Excel.
  • RDL reporting – Enables the visualization of standards-based Microsoft Report Definition Language (RDL) files from WPF-Silverlight applications. It moves from preview status to general availability in this release. As such, developers will be able to eliminate their dependence on proprietary formats created by multiple component vendors.
  • Essential Gantt – New interactive Gantt control with table and chart views enables visualization of project status. Gantt control capabilities support tasks to be dragged and dropped and dependencies set up between tasks.
  • Improved charts – Charts support 10 different technical indicators important for financial applications, such as Bollinger Bands, MACD, and stochastic and simple averages that run off a built-in, highly optimized calculation engine.

In addition to the Enterprise Edition, Syncfusion offers three Essential Studio point solutions: Essential Studio User Interface Edition, Reporting Edition, and Business Intelligence Edition, including the fastest, high-performance WPF Grid on the market.
