What's New in Essential Studio for WPF

WPF developers have plenty to enjoy in 2023 Volume 1, including on-demand, asynchronous record loading in the TreeGrid; support to find document elements based on specified properties and their values with the Word Library; and Markdown-to-Word conversion.

Excel Library

Slicer support for Excel tables

Users can now programmatically create slicers for Excel tables to filter table data in Excel files.
