What’s New
What's New in Essential Studio for WinForms
Support for smart tags has been added to the Bullet Graph control, providing instant access to frequently used operations and configurations within the design interface.
The DataContract Serializer support for Diagram feature enables users to save and load diagrams and symbol palettes in XML format. By using DataContract serialization, the diagram’s structure, including its shapes, connections, and styles, can be serialized into XML for storage or transfer. Later, the serialized XML can be deserialized to reconstruct the diagram or symbol palette, ensuring that users can persist and restore their work seamlessly across sessions or different environments.

It’s beneficial in educational materials, technical documentation, design reviews, and collaborative business documents where clear communication is essential.
This feature enables users to crop specific regions of a converted image during the HTML-to-image conversion process, allowing for precise extraction of relevant content, such as isolating key visuals or focusing on particular webpage sections for reports or presentations.
The .NET Word Library now preserves WordArt effects like shadows, reflections, glows, bevels, 3D rotations, and transformations in DOCX files, ensuring that decorative text retains its appearance.
The .NET Word Library now supports HTML files that do not follow XML standards, offering greater flexibility in HTML-to-Word conversions. Users can now more effectively handle HTML files with non-standard tags or structures.
RTL (right-to-left) text is accurately preserved during HTML-to-Word and Word-to-HTML conversions. Users can now convert HTML files containing the RTL text, and the text direction formatting remains consistent.
