What’s New
What’s New in Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC UI Controls
All of our Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC controls now support Fluent 2 design. This lets you create UIs with a complete set of customization options readily available through the Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Theme Studio.
The following controls have been developed to meet industry standards. They are now production-ready controls for ASP.NET MVC:
We are excited to introduce the ASP.NET MVC MultiColumn ComboBox. This is a dropdown control that displays detailed information about items in a table-like structure with multiple columns. It provides comprehensive data about the selected value, offering more context than typical single-string text lists.
Introducing the ASP.NET MVC OTP Input, a form control used to input one-time passwords (OTP) during multi-factor authentication processes. It provides extensive customization options, allowing users to change input types, placeholders, separators, and more.
This feature allows users to add, remove, or update data with smooth animation effects.
This feature supports animations for adding, removing, or updating data in all chart types, from line charts to financial charts.
This feature allows users to get point information based on the pointer coordinates during chart mouse events and use the point information to add or remove points in the chart.
The Word Processor allows users to add the new content control or modify an existing one, and bind data to content controls in a Word document. It supports various content controls like Rich Text, Plain Text, Picture, Check Box, Combo Box, Drop Down List, and Date Picker. With this feature, users can easily design fillable templates, fill forms, and bind data to and from content controls in a Word document. The document’s author can restrict editing for certain parts by locking content control as non-editable or add non-removable placeholders in the Word document by locking content control as can’t delete.
This feature allows individual items to be disabled or enabled based on specific scenarios. Users cannot interact with the disabled items or select them as values within the control.
This feature supports making individual items available or unavailable for specific scenarios. Unavailable items cannot be selected as values within the control.
The show values row option is provided in pivot table creation and Excel to PDF conversion. This feature allows users to add “Values” row to the pivot table when two or more data fields exist.
Support for gradient fill style in conditional formatting is provided in Excel document creation and Excel to PDF conversion. This feature improves the appearance of the conditional formatting and easily highlights the data in the reports containing large data.
This feature supports rendering flat data as an array of JSON objects in the File Manager, removing the need for AJAX requests and back-end URL configuration. You can explore a demo of this feature here.
We are pleased to introduce the timeline template feature in the Gantt Chart. This feature allows you to customize the appearance of timeline cells by using templates. You can now display images, buttons, or other custom content within the timeline cells, making your Gantt Chart more informative and visually appealing.
We have added support to define different working time ranges for each day of the week. This enhancement allows for more flexibility in scheduling and managing tasks, accommodating varying work hours for different weekdays.
The ActionFailure event notifies developers when the Gantt configurations are handled incorrectly on the application end. We have enhanced this event to cover more cases, providing developers with better feedback and diagnostics when issues occur. This improvement will help ensure that any configuration errors are quickly identified and resolved.
Enhances the DataManager ODataV4 Adaptor to support users’ custom action methods alongside the default GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE methods. This feature facilitates performing CRUD operations by invoking custom action methods when binding the ODataV4 service to the Grid.
We are excited to announce significant performance improvements for Lazy load grouping with sorting functionality. These improvements are particularly beneficial in scenarios involving multiple columns for grouping or sorting large datasets in a grid. Below are the performance metrics comparing the previous release with the current 2024 Volume 2 release for 100,000 records across 5 columns:
| Action | Old release | Current 2024 Volume 2 release |
|---|---|---|
| Single column grouping | 10000 ms to 20000 ms | 300 ms to 600 ms |
| Multiple column grouping (3) | Page unresponsive | 300 ms to 600 ms |
| Single column sorting | Above 20000 ms | 250 ms to 500 ms |
| Multiple column sorting (3) | Page unresponsive | 250 ms to 500 ms |
The latest update to our Image Editor significantly improves the annotation feature. Users can now draw multiple annotations simultaneously, enhancing creative flexibility. Furthermore, every action, including customizations, will be tracked in the undo/redo collection, ensuring a seamless user experience and making it easier to experiment with different designs.
This feature allows users to adjust the positioning of annotations. It is particularly useful for designing personalized templates like greeting cards or posters, where managing the layering of multiple annotations is crucial for a polished final product.
Users can now save an image with a specified file name, file type, and image quality. This enhancement provides more control over the output, ensuring that users can save their work exactly as they need it.
This functionality allows users to merge PDF documents without compromising their accessibility. Accessibility is crucial for users relying on screen readers and other assistive technologies.
This feature enables users to add various pop-up icons to a PDF document, including custom icons with unique appearances, by using appearance streams. The appearance stream ensures that each pop-up icon is displayed uniformly when the PDF document is viewed in any standard PDF viewers.
This feature allows users to duplicate pages within the same PDF document, facilitating easier content replication and organization. This support is useful for quickly creating templates, maintaining consistency across multiple sections, and streamlining document editing processes.
These enhancements make organizing and managing your PDF documents more flexible and user-friendly.
