I can send you a screenshot if you need it.

Some parts don't look that difficult but other like the pattern enhancements might be. 2019-10-03T20:13:27Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117567 Any plans to update to C# 8. Would be easy, hard...? 2019-10-03T06:57:36Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117563 Hi Daniel, Yes the maintenance release for WPF with C# 7.x support just rolled out today. 2019-10-02T19:44:29Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117562 Great news!! Is there any maintenance release (WPF) that includes support for C# 7? 2019-10-02T13:27:11Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117509 Hi Markus, We have all the syntax updates done for VB through v15.8 now. We are currently doing some additional work in certain areas with the resolver to help with the new language updates for ... 2019-08-16T12:11:50Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117508 Thanks for the heads-up. We do really need this badly, as we are under serious pressure by our customers around the syntax issues in VB and we already started to evaluate our other option. But ... 2019-08-16T10:06:59Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117489 Hi Markus, Actually we already started on the C#/VB updates about three weeks ago, while the final beta testing of the UWP SyntaxEditor vNext updates is occurring. We have all the C# 7.0/7.1 a... 2019-08-12T19:18:37Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117488 Just out of curiosity, do we have to wait another 2 Years then for getting this? Sadly, this sounds like we need to check our other options in the market. 2019-08-12T07:56:06Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117426 Hi Markus, Not yet but we expect to start to work on it soon. We have the WPF SyntaxEditor vNext version out already (as v2019.1) and are almost ready for the UWP vNext version's beta. Then we ... 2019-07-09T19:26:18Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-117422 We are still interested in a WinForms version of the SyntaxEditor where the .NET Languages Add-on supports the latest VB - Language features (and C#). We are nagged by our customers about the lag... 2019-07-09T10:13:52Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-115558 Hi Marty, It's turned out to be much more work than we had hoped. But the hardest parts (like building various adapters for each platform where platform-specific APIs come into play such as elem... 2018-09-21T16:53:44Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-115557 ok....we ship a product that includes your syntax editor though. What's the ETA you have on delivery. the blog entry I read was over a year old. I need an ETA at least. 2018-09-20T20:34:03Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-115553 Hello, We are still working on SyntaxEditor vNext (see our blog) as our top development priority. This project involves basically bringing the WPF/UWP SyntaxEditor API back to the WinForms Synta... 2018-09-20T18:15:48Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-115552 Hi.....where does the support stand now for the C# syntax editor? does the latest support C# 6 or C#7? I can't seem to find a reference to the support on the web site 2018-09-19T18:11:58Z 1b8cf942-0560-400e-b668-0943a2578e15-115317 Thank you. I hope your effort succeeds and brings the much needed lambda to WinForms add-on. 2018-07-20T15:44:11Z 1b8cf942-0560-400e-b668-0943a2578e15-115313 Hello, The WPF version's add-on has much better IntelliPrompt in general than the older WinForms version. The WinForms version doesn't have lambda IntelliPrompt. That being said, per our blog, ... 2018-07-20T15:38:39Z 1b8cf942-0560-400e-b668-0943a2578e15-115316 I can see that you have been posting release notes in Announcements, I will be going through that, thanks. Is my understanding correct that lambda intellisense is still not part of WinForms? Thanks. 2018-07-20T14:52:57Z 1b8cf942-0560-400e-b668-0943a2578e15-115312 Hello, we have just updated to latest WinForms version, is there a way to make intellisense in lambdas work today? As an additional question, is it possible to see change log for different releases? 2018-07-19T20:14:58Z cfa0a516-ccc4-4ac3-82f6-03e627f5187d-114424 Hi Max, We solved this by upgrading to a newer version of the Syntax editor. sincerely, Niklas 2017-11-24T15:20:18Z cfa0a516-ccc4-4ac3-82f6-03e627f5187d-114423 Hey Guys, i've got the same problem as niklas. unfortunately you did not publish any resolutions on this. What's the resolution for the problem in case of niklas? sincerely, Max 2017-11-24T14:27:40Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-113830 Hi Markus, No progress on the WinForms API updates yet. We are hoping to take a look again at trying to build some common rendering infrastructure that could be shared among the SyntaxEditor imp... 2017-07-13T19:10:48Z 5428a349-1c87-4ecc-a177-44ae388c7a25-113829 What about your backport of C#6 and VB14 to SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms and SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for Windows Forms? Any progress on that? Moving to WPF is no option for us at t... 2017-07-13T07:30:25Z
