New in Windows Forms 2008 Volume 2
Grid Enhancements
CardView Printing – CardView is a display mechanism in the WinGrid that enables the developer to provide an alternate view of data, similar to that of the Microsoft Outlook Business Cards view. This added functionality provides an easy mechanism for the developer to print the grid while in this display mode.
Rotated Column Headers – Developers can now create new visualisations with the WinGrid by rotating the column header. This will come closer to mimicking real life printed forms and make it easier for the readability and transition of the end user from a printed document to a running application.
Row Edit Templates – Provides a dialog box that has knowledge of the underlying WinGrid. This template will provide an easy mechanism for a developer to show additional information to the end-user or provide a new mechanism for a developer to enhance the data-entry experience of the grid.
TreeMap – TreeMap is a chart that provides a visualisation aspect to hierarchical or relational data using nested rectangles. This is effective in showing things like the demographical data or allotment of financial capital.
AutoComplete Mode -- New ways to filter through data in a mechanism that can be compared to the Suggest mode made popular by Google is now enabled on the WinCombo controls.
WinValidator – The WinValidator is an extender control that enhances the experience of editable fields. Traditionally, developers had to write sometimes trivial logic to perform validation on multiple input areas on a form. This control will greatly decrease the amount of code the developer needs to write and increase the validity of data submitted by the end-user.
Visual Studio 2008 Docking Style – Not only does the latest color enhancements make it to the Dock Manager control, but also the addition of the preview pane. End-Users can now CTRL-Tab through their application and get the same rich live preview displayed to developers in their line of business solution.
