Infragistics Express Grid

19. September 2007 16:17 Comments wpf, grid

Infragistics has released their WPF grid to the general public.

[...] the Express Grid rises up again and we were faced with the question of what Product Management plans to do with it. And the end result, is that we've decided to give it away for free to everyone and recompile/test it with the latest hotfix already installed.

You can download it here.

Project Astoria September 2007 CTP Released

18. September 2007 22:22 Comments beta, ctp, ado.net data services

The Project Astoria September 2007 CTP has been released. It's a refresh of the May CTP, but it works with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2.

The Astoria September 2007 CTP is now available for download. This CTP is for the most part a refresh of the May CTP bits recompiled so they run with Visual Studio 2008/Entity Framework Beta 2. We did tweak here or there, but no new features were added.

You can download it here.
