Maintenance release includes several bug fixes.

Fixes

ExpressEditors Library

• TcxDBImage - AV when loading invalid images.

ExpressLayout Control

• Dragging a hidden empty group causes an AV.

ExpressSpreadSheet

• An AV occurs when loading a malformed XLS file if it contains two or more data entries for a cell.
• Export to HTML - The "Duplicates not allowed" exception occurs on exporting a worksheet containing a merged cell with a hyperlink.
• Loading shared formulas from an XLS file doesn't limit their column indexes to 256 as per specifications.

Webinar - What’s New in  Infragistics Ultimate 17.2

Date: Nov 20, 2017 Event Timing: 11:00 AM

Event Description

Infragistics Ultimate UI 17.2 is loaded with productivity tools and fast-performing UI controls for quickly building web, desktop, and mobile apps. Join SVP of Developer Tools Jason Beres and the Infragistics Product Team for the launch webinar, where they’ll give you an inside look at what's new in this release, including:

• 30+ True Angular UI Components in the new Ignite UI for Angular component set.
• Quick Start JavaScript projects with new CLI & new Grid, Chart, and Schedule features.
• New Control Configurators, Royal Light Theme, & Scatter Series in WPF.
• New Windows Forms data visualization controls, including Category and Funnel Charts, new Bullet Graph, Linear Gauge, and Sparkline controls.
• New Charts, Schedule improvements, and Configurators in Xamarin.
• Sketch Integration and On-Premise Server for the rapid prototyping tool, Indigo Studio, and more.

Sign up today to attend the interactive, demo-driven webinar led by Infragistics Experts.

Includes new chart types, Control Configurators, and improvements to the Data Chart and Scheduler.

Features

• New Charts - Two new chart controls have been added to Infragistics Ultimate UI for Xamarin that provide new options for data visualization: the xamDoughnutChart and the xamFunnelChart. The Doughnut Chart displays multiple data series using concentric rings, with slices that can be easily labeled or left unlabeled within each ring. The Funnel Chart displays diminishing values of a single series in a funnel shape with a variable number of sections that total 100 percent. It’s especially good for showing quantitative data in relation to the stages of a process.
• New QR Barcode - With the Quick Response (QR) barcode control, you can create a 2-D barcode matrix code that can be read by QR scanners and smartphones. The barcode is a square pattern made up of black square modules, with a unique finder pattern at three of the corners.
• New Control Configurators - Visually configure controls quickly and easily with no coding required. Use pre-built styles and WYSIWYG property editing to customize your controls and bind data directly from XAML files, then generate code with the click of a button. Control Configurators are available for six controls: Category Chart, Pie Chart, Bullet Graph, Linear Gauge, Radial Gauge, and Data Grid.
• Improvements to Data Chart - The Xamarin Data Grid now features column grouping with sticky headers, enabling you to organize data hierarchically based on matching property values. You can apply grouping to multiple columns to fine-tune your sorting and display.
• Improvements to Scheduler - Added a Day View and a Week View to the Scheduler. The Day View presents the hours of the day vertically, with activities arranged horizontally in configurable timeslots. The Week View has the same features as the Day View, but displays activities for all days in a particular week.
