VIBlend will fully support the .NET4 Client Profile in the next version of VIBlend Controls for WinForms which is expected in the middle of May. We will create a new VIBlend.WinForms.Controls.Design assembly and will move all the design time classes of our controls into it. The change is needed because the client profile does not include the standard design time classes and we need to remove the reference to the System.Design namespace in our present assemblies.

The upcoming release of the VIBlend Controls for Silverlight, which is due in May, will incorporate a full support for Visual Studio 2010. We will also have a new build for Silverlight 4 and our product will benefit from the new features in the latest platform’s edition. In addition, the new release will be shipped with three new themes for all of our controls and performance optimizations in the VIBlend OLAP Grid for Silverlight.

We are proud to announce the second major release of VIBlend Controls for Silverlight.

With the new release, VIBlend has officially included in the suite four new controls – OutlookPane, NavigationPane, DateTimePicker and ScrollablePanel. Not only we introduced new controls, but we also improved the quality and functionality of the existing ones and added over 10 new examples to show how our controls work.

The Menu and Context Menu controls from the toolset are now provided free of charge to all registered users.
