ComponentArt Silverlight Preview

Posted Fri Dec 5, 2008 @ 9:15 AM

If you are wondering what we here at ComponentArt have been up to in the last while, wonder no more: we have been busily working on a foray into the world of Silverlight. It'a always exciting to play with a new user interface technology, not least one that is as well thought-out and powerful as this. We have put together a small but ever-growing demo application to showcase some of our archievements so far, which you can check out at silverlight.componentart.com.

I personally have been working on the DataGrid control. Our aim with DataGrid, as with the rest of the suite, is to make controls which will retain all the familiar features and UI capabilities of our AJAX suite and include new ones which will utilize the best of what Silverlight brings to the game.

Let us know what you think and what you would like to see in the upcoming ComponentArt Silverlight product line.

I can't believe how much the demos have matured since the last time I saw them (just a few weeks ago) - very exciting stuff, keep up the good work! I'd be curious to see some full screen grid examples - this is something I've struggled with on the HTML side of things and that I'm looking to Silverlight for a solution!

Yes, a full screen grid demo is a must!

I know that this is really early in the dev cycle but maybe you guys could add some features to the Silverlight demos that are not really possible with pure HTML Grid (i.e. a real time stock streamer that updates each cell individually as updates come in, more use of animations and transitions, a grid that behaves more like a spreadsheet and allows rich user input, etc.) I m really curious to see the true power of silverlight packaged into easy to use controls.
