The Visual WebGui team is very excited to announce the new Visual WebGui version 6.4 beta 2.
Except from the fact that around 1800 issues were handled in version 6.4 of which hundreds of capabilities have been implemented and completed and above 800 bugs were fixed, this version would be the first Visual WebGui version which will reach to a release level.
The major capabilities that are included in this version:
- Full support for dynamic scalability and redundancy
As a part of the Visual WebGui promise to provide a fully scalable environment, 6.4 presents a set of infrastructures which are all about optimizing the scenarios of centralized state management and memory consumption. In addition a set of rendering improvements and browser specific adjustments were implemented.
- Theme designer
Enables full UI customization and modern Web 2.0 UIs + out-of-the-box themes. From now on, Visual WebGui provides simple and productive tools in the form of a point & click designer to customize the look & feel and create the most eye catching web UIs. Developers can now export the entire look & feel to a Grapgic Designer friendly format (in use in Photoshop) and get back a whole new look & feel.
Furthermore, a set of 4 themes is available out-of-the-box (Web 2.0 and Desktop ones).
- Control level designer
Enables the creation, extension and wrapping of custom controls. The ability to customize, extend and wrap controls in VWG is extremely enhanced, especially in the field of controls resources management (i.e. images, scripts and layouts).
- Lowest memory consumption on the server per active user (smart state-full app)
The per user state memory consumption has reduced dramatically by leveraging advanced data-structures and mechanisms to store only the minimal amount of necessary state data on the server at every point in time.
- Flexible and highly customizable ListView with support for Hierarchies and Custom Columns
ListView has now became a highly flexible control and enables fully customization which turn it into an extended form of DataGridView only light weighted.
- Lighter and fully functional DataGridView
One of the important missing features in previous 6.3 was the lack of functionality and capabilities of the DataGridView which were now accomplished and highly optimized in terms of client footprint.
- Full support for Chrome, Firefox 2.0-3.5, IE v6.0-8.0, Safari and Netscape (coming soon support for Opera browsers)
All of the system functionality is now tested against each of the browsers above to ensure that the release version will support all of the different browsers.
- Support for Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0 (will be available in the near future)
Visual WebGui is already integrated into Visual Studio 2010, the first media of 2010
will be available a bit after beta 2 is released.
