Roadmap for Syncfusion^® ASP.NET Core Controls

New Components

Modern Rich Text Editor

The Modern Rich Text Editor will be available for ASP.NET Core through tag helpers, providing full feature parity with the web Modern Rich Text Editor. It supports model binding and validation, enabling server-side web applications to deliver rich, collaborative, and AI-ready editing experiences.

Barcode Generator

PDF417 barcode

This feature adds support for generating PDF417 barcodes with text, byte, and numeric compaction modes and configurable error correction levels. It enables high-capacity encoding for use cases such as identification cards, shipping labels, and boarding passes.

GS1 barcode support

GS1-128 barcodes and GS1 modes for data matrices and QR codes can be generated with built-in Application Identifier (AI) parsing, data validation, and automatic check digit calculation. This ensures standards-compliant barcodes for retail, healthcare, and supply chain applications.

Aztec barcode

This feature adds support for generating Aztec barcodes with optimized high-level encoding, configurable error correction, and automatic layer selection. Aztec codes provide compact, reliable encoding for tickets, transport passes, and mobile scanning scenarios.

Form Builder

AI assistance

AI-powered capabilities simplify form creation through natural-language prompts and intelligent field recommendations. These enhancements help users design comprehensive forms more efficiently while reducing manual effort.

Page support

Paging capabilities allow large forms to be organized into multiple steps or sections, creating a more structured and user-friendly form experience. This feature will enable seamless navigation, progress tracking, and page-level validation for complex forms.

File Manager

AI-powered file search

Enables searching for files using AI-generated tags in addition to file names, making it easier to find images, videos, and other files. AI automatically generates relevant tags based on file type and content, improving search accuracy and file discovery.

Move support

Users can move files and folders between directories using a familiar move workflow with a context menu, making it easier to restructure and organize content as projects grow.

Programmatic access to loaded files

Retrieves all files and folders from the current directory or a specified folder path through a dedicated API, enabling custom integrations and greater control over file handling within the application.

Pivot Table

Real-time scrolling with virtual scrolling

Enables smooth, real-time scrolling for large Pivot Table datasets with virtual scrolling support. It improves responsiveness by rendering only the visible data while preserving fluid navigation across extensive analytical reports.

Multiple values with independent aggregations

Allows the same field to be added multiple times in the values section, with each instance maintaining its own aggregation settings. This provides greater flexibility for comparing different summaries of the same source measure within a single Pivot Table.

Custom data server

Enables Pivot Table operations to connect to a custom data server for data loading and processing. It supports server-side handling of large datasets to improve scalability and integrate with analytical workflows.

Secure shareable reports

Enables users to create and securely share Pivot Table reports. It supports controlled sharing of analytical content while preserving access to the report view.

Flat analytical table view

Adds a flat analytical table view for Pivot Table data, allowing users to switch from the Pivot view to a flat grid that renders raw data in a tabular format. It provides a simple way to analyze detailed records alongside pivot-based summaries within the same experience.

Block Editor

The Block Editor will be available for ASP.NET Core applications, built on the headless editing framework. This delivers consistent editing behavior and features with the web block editor, enabling server-side web applications to provide intelligent, AI-assisted editing experiences.

AI Assistview

Redesigned UI

Delivers a refreshed visual design for the AI AssistView, featuring a modern layout, improved spacing, and refined interaction patterns. The updated experience makes conversations easier to follow and scan, and provides a more polished, intuitive interface from the first prompt.

AI provider integration

Provides ready-to-use integration with popular AI providers, enabling connection to their preferred models with minimal setup. It reduces boilerplate and gives teams the flexibility to switch or combine providers without reworking their UI.

Conversation history

Enables browsing, searching, and resuming past conversations directly within the component. Persistent history preserves context across sessions, reduces redundant prompting, and lets users pick up previous work exactly where they left off.

Approval interface and user input for missing information

Introduces built-in interfaces for approving AI-proposed actions and for collecting missing details the AI needs to proceed. Keeping users in control of sensitive operations and allowing the AI to request clarification mid-flow result in safer, more accurate outcomes.

External tool integration using MCP

Enables connecting to external tools and data sources through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Developers can extend the AI’s capabilities with standardized, reusable integrations, enabling responses that act on real systems and provide up-to-date information.

Mermaid and math rendering

Renders Mermaid diagrams and mathematical expressions directly in AI responses. Visual diagrams and properly formatted equations make technical, educational, and analytical answers clearer and easier to understand.

Tool activity display

Shows which tools the AI invokes, along with their status and results, directly in the conversation. Making tool usage visible builds user trust, simplifies debugging, and helps users understand how a response was produced.

Data Grid

Tool panel

Provides a centralized sidebar for managing Data Grid configurations and data operations. Key capabilities include column chooser for visibility and ordering, filtering for advanced data refinement, grouping, and aggregate options for organizing and summarizing data.

Built-in date range filter

Provides commonly used date selections, including relative and custom ranges, to simplify filtering and accelerate date-based data analysis.

Find and highlight search value

Highlights matching values in grid cells during search operations, improving result visibility and enabling faster identification of relevant data.

Charts

X-axis null value support

Provides support for handling null or missing x-axis values, allowing charts to accurately render datasets with gaps while maintaining proper data visualization.

Enhanced pie and doughnut data labels

Enhances the positioning of outside data labels in pie and doughnut charts to better utilize available space, reducing label overlap and truncation for improved readability.

Non-decimal axis labels

Allows non-decimal axis labels, including integer, currency, and custom-formatted values, to be displayed without generating duplicate labels, ensuring accurate and clean axis rendering.

Smart data labels

Automatically repositions data labels to prevent overlapping with neighboring labels and chart elements, improving data visibility and presentation.

Chart performance improvements

Improves chart rendering and interaction performance, delivering faster initial load times and smoother user experiences during zooming, panning, and tooltip interactions.

Accumulation charts

Enhanced smart data labels

Enhances data label positioning in accumulation charts by automatically reducing overlaps and collisions, improving label readability and chart clarity.

Maps

Shape coordinate access

Provides x- and y-coordinates in the shapeSelected event, enabling precise positioning of overlays, annotations, and custom UI elements relative to selected map shapes.

HeatMap Chart

Custom data access in tooltips

Allows access to custom data fields within the tooltipRender event, enabling the display of context-specific information in tooltips.

Stock Chart

Drawing tools

Provides interactive drawing and annotation tools, including lines, arrows, rectangles, and ellipses, enabling users to mark up charts for technical analysis and data review.

Performance improvements

Improves Stock Chart rendering and interaction performance, delivering faster initial loading and smoother navigation when working with financial datasets.

Data aggregation support

Provides data aggregation capabilities for large datasets by grouping data points over configurable intervals, improving rendering performance and maintaining meaningful data visualization.
