Yes, absolutely, we are working on a WPF version of our Silverlight suite. It's been announced for February 2010 on our product roadmap page.

Are there any plans to release a WPF version of the Silverlight controls? In theory, it *should* be as simple as changing the references and re-compiling.

re: Finally! ComponentArt Editor for ASP.NET AJAX

I used your ComponentArt Editor tool recently for my project work. This seems to be extremely fast, efficient as well as good looking. Thanks a ton for the same. However, I am still encountering flickering of toolbar in IE6. I read above that you had already dealt with that, however, it is still occurring. Can you help me with this? Moreover, when i try to put the editor control in updatepanel, javascript error occurs. Regards, Abhinav Sharma.

From my comment in an earlier thread in this post: "I would also love to see an example or feature support to create an "Outlook style" day/week schedule view. I have seen a couple other vendors out there offer this. It would be a Great addition to the suite." Your announcement for a new Scheduler control is awesome! Would be glad to beta this control for you guys. Thanks, Luke

re: ComponentArt Web.UI 2008.2 Details Announced : CA ViewState implementation

Mike Lim — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 13:49:52 GMT

In your blog post "http://www.componentart.com/blogs/miljan/archive/2007/01/08/interoperability-vs-true-asp-net-ajax-controls.aspx", you mentioned "We don't use the built-in ASP.NET viewstate nor control state at all. We have a custom viewstate mechanism which is much more efficient. Explaining the details of our viewstate implementation would perhaps make for an interesting blog post in its own right" We resolved ASP.NET viewstate/control state size problem by storing them in SessionState. There's a good link at http://szokelizer.blogsome.com/2006/11/09/how-to-put-controlstate-into-viewstate-and-how-to-put-viewstate-into-session/ which explains this. There are other problems with this implementation (e.g. session expire, web farm/garden scenarios) that we have since resolved. I currently have a yearly subscription for CA. Looking at the source codes, we noticed that CA's ViewState is implemented as hidden form fields. This works great most of the time. However for certain components (e.g. TreeView with many nodes), the amount of form field data is a lot. This slows down page load and page postback. I can probably change the source codes; put CA's ViewState back into ASP.NET ViewState which is then stored on web server SessionState. This is however going to be a very time consuming process. Is it possible for ComponentArt to allow back the ASP.NET ViewState/ControlState implementation? Perhaps a web.config setting to choose between CA's hidden form field implementation or asp.net ViewState? Sincerely hope that CA can look into this.

As you probably know by now, we shipped Web.UI 2008.2 last week. I invite you to review the release as it has contains some features requested in this thread: 100% Grid width (with non-resizable columns), multi-level grouping and templated footer rows.

Does ComponentArt:Editor's spell check provide multi language support? Does it support for Swedish Language?

I too would love to see a non-resizable column option (grid wide, not just on columns). I have so many grids in so many places that only use the features of paging and sorting. I would love to be able to dumb down many of these to get better width support if that was possible. I would also love to have the ability to make the grid almost completely dumb and completely disable all the features that I do not want to use. If this could speed up rendering and load times, then I would be so very happy.

How to resolve Performance Problems in ComponentArt.web.UI 2008 I am not sure why our website is damn slow when we are using component ART.We are using only Tabstrip and multiview and dialogue Controls. Steps Followed which is of no use #Installing licensed version on server #Adding generated .Lic file in website's bin folder. #Removed the componentart reference from the project(web site is almost flying in this scenario) #Modify IIS cache expiration policy for Images folder as 2 days. Environment: #ComponentArt.web.UI 2008 2008.1.1183.2 # Windows Server 2003 with IIS6 with State server as session store. # we are not using any client scripts or server scripts. # We didn't installed any service packs and I don't think any service packs are available for tabstrip,multiview controls. I want to know whether any one sheds any lights on this. Thanks in advance. Raj

I second the comment that I'd like to see more bug fixes in each release, and I understand that may come with less new features. For example...just last week we encountered a known (on the forum) issue with snap controls "occasionally" hiding dropdowns on a page. Not sure why it sometimes happens and not others...but for a production control to exhibit this known behavior across multiple releases and not be resolved by now is a little embarrasing. That said, we LOVE the web.ui suite 90% of the time. Fix the bugs that cause us pain and I'll get you the remaining 10% :) Jason
