A major new version of the Actipro Silverlight controls is now available.  This version adds a new Views product that contains a TaskBoard control, allowing for animated drag/drop of cards within task columns. SyntaxEditor gets many new features and its Python Language Add-on's IntelliPrompt capabilities have been greatly enhanced. New shapes are also added to the Shared Library.

Detailed Update List

Bar Code

  • Fixed a bug where centered displayed values were slightly offset.

Charts

  • Fixed a bug introduced in a previous build where binding a chart to data without specifying an XPath wouldn't properly use the item index as each data item's X value.

SyntaxEditor

  • Added the EditorSearchView.IsFindAllButtonVisible property, which shows a new Find All button when set to true.
  • Updated the 'Search - Find Results' QuickStart to show the new Find All button.
  • Added the IEditorViewSearcher.FindAll method.

  • Improved and optimized automatic outlining update logic.
  • Updated mouse hovers over a collapsed outlining node indicator in the outlining margin to not trigger highlights.
  • Changed the quick info and parameter info tips to have a default MaxWidth of 1000, and description tips to have a default MaxWidth of 800.
  • Fixed a bug where clicking elsewhere in a document wouldn't close the Insert Snippet popup.
  • Fixed a bug where a document with many sequential whitespace lines and indentation guides visible could affect editing performance.
  • Fixed a bug where an intra-text adornment on an empty view line could make the view line's height smaller than expected.
LL(*) Parser Framework
  • Added the IParserState.UntargetableParseErrorTokenIds property, which specifies tokens whose text ranges will be avoided by untargeted parse errors.
.NET Languages Add-on
  • Improved the C# language AST node structure when encountering open block statements.
  • Updated the IntelliPrompt quick info for properties to include accessors, making it possible to see whether a property is read-only.

  • Updated the IntelliPrompt completion list to filter unmatched items.
  • Updated the IntelliPrompt docstring display to retain presentation of line feeds.
Web Languages Add-on
  • Fixed a bug where placing end tags in the header text of an XML document may cause an exception.
