New Silverlight CMS Demo Available

The Content Management System (CMS) demo available previously under version 1.1 of Silverlight which allowed the editing of HTML web pages has been updated and is now functional on Silverlight 2 BETA 2. The interface has changed significantly opting for a split window view as opposed to the original overlay method. At the server end is an evolved ASP.NET API for managing the server-side processing. Once again we have opted for an XML based solution rather than SQL and the result is a fast, compact and extensible system.

Updated Demos and New Articles

With the release of version 4.9 of the Liquid Controls Library we have published additional articles to help developers make use of the additional functionality such as HTML importing/exporting, XAML objects etc

Customizing the Default Styles


Silverlight .NET Controls V4.9 Released

This version fixes bugs with the RichTextBox, brings us HTML importing/exporting support as well as many enhancements to the TreeView and Dialog controls. HTML Import/export support is the single biggest enhancement providing a way to render your RichText in regular HTML elements.

The TreeView now has connector lines, 3-state Checkboxes as well as slick node expand animation. The Popup Dialogs now automatically maintain the correct rendering order and have new BringToFront() and SendToBack() methods for implementing your own, complex GUI's.

Importing HTML Using the Silverlight RichTextBox

As with all our releases your feedback, whether it be commenting on pages or email, your comments, bug reports are welcome.


July Update [Jul 12th, 2008]

As you have probably noticed we have converted our perviously static HTML main navigation bar into a nice Silverlight XAML control, although it sounds easy at first several issues did arrise such as the dynamic breadcrumb and logged on/off status (not to mention absolute URL issues courtesy of the Friendly URL settings of our CMS!).

Site updates asside, we have updated the TreeView and RichTextBox demos, the treeview now has connector lines and can also have 3-state checkboxes. The RichTextBox demo now allows you to import and export text to and from HTML (export only at the moment), XML and plain text. These features will be included in the next release of the controls library but for those who can't wait and would like to BETA test version 4.9 then email us.
