WPF New Features - 2010 Volume 1:-
In the latest release of our NetAdvantage® WPF controls, we broaden the most comprehensive UI control toolset available for WPF developers with a new tiling and data card controls so you can create more readable user interfaces. We have also added functionality to the docking manager, built-in spin buttons for masked editor controls, added support for Microsoft® Windows® 7 multi-touch default gestures and more.

xamTilesControl™ - NEW!:-
xamTilesControl displays content in an animated arrangement of rectangular tiles, sequentially ordered into multiple rows and columns. Your users can then maximize one or more tiles that they wish to focus on, while the other tiles within the control appear minimized along the side of the control. Your users can quickly focus on bringing up this new content at a glance, making this an ideal control for fully at-a-glance access to informative content.

Add and Remove Tiles:-
You can programmatically add and remove tiles from the Items collection of xamTilesControl. Since it is derived from ItemsControl, you can also data bind xamTilesControl by setting its ItemsSource to any IEnumerable and its Tile instances will be automatically created.

Item Templates:-
Tiles can be in any one of several different states such as normal, minimized/expanded, minimized and maximized. You can associate a different ItemTemplate with each of these states, for example, to show information at a greater level of detail when in a tile is maximized.

Explicit Tile Layout:-
There are many different ways you can layout tiles. You can customize the TileLayoutOrder property if you want tiles to layout first horizontally (row major) or vertically (column major). After that, tiles lay themselves out in a number of rows and columns—you can control the minimum and maximum numbers of rows and columns you wish to see. You can also explicitly lay out tiles by specifying a row, column, row span and column span for each tile, allowing them to take up varying sizes on a behind-the-scenes grid layout by setting TileLayoutOrder to UseExplicitRowColumnOnTile.

Tile Settings:-
You can modify tile settings such as whether to show the tile area splitter, whether to allow tiles to be dragged and/or resized by the user, how to order the layout of maximized tiles, etc. These settings can be modified for normal tiles through the NormalModeSettings property. They can be modified for maximized, minimized and minimized/expanded tiles through the MaximizedModeSettings.

Tile Constraints:-
You can limit the size (minimum and maximum) of tiles in different states, even limiting the width and height independently of each other. You can allow users to resize the tiles dynamically, but only to these certain limits that you set.

Tile Closing Actions:-
Users can close tiles by clicking the optional close button (by default, appearing as an X in the upper-right corner of the tile's header). You can choose to either hide these tiles, or remove them completely from your Items collection (if your underlying ItemsSource allows removal of items, otherwise closed tiles will result in hiding the Tile.)

Saving and Loading Layouts:-
After your users have arranged xamTilesControl to present your content in a way that they like, you can save their layout. Later, when they resuming working with the xamTilesControl, you can restore the layout that they last worked with by loading it back into the control.

Theming:-
xamTilesControl includes a number of predefined themes that can be readily applied simply by setting the control's Theme property.

xamDataCards™ - NEW!:-
Built using the same grid bag layout technology described above, xamDataCards is a new card view for presenting all kinds of data in a faceted user interface of concise, compact "cards" similar to that seen in the Contacts folder of Microsoft Outlook® 2007. xamDataCards shares the high-fidelity, animated layout and arrangement functionality from xamTilesControl including spacing, padding, rows and columns and more; we have simply optimized everything for presenting your information as ready-made data cards.
