Syncfusion announces Essential Suite 2.0 for Microsoft .NET

Adds new components to its best selling Essential Suite products.

Research Triangle Park, NC - April 27, 2004 - Syncfusion, Inc. today announced the release of Essential Suite 2.0, the next generation of its popular Windows Forms components for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET developers. Dynamic, powerful, and feature-rich, Essential Suite 2.0 is everything developers need to create enterprise-class applications.

With the debut of Version 2.0, .NET developers have four compelling new reasons to choose Essential Suite: The business-oriented charting package Essential Chart; Essential Diagram, a versatile set of diagramming controls; Essential Grouping, a powerful grouping engine for Windows Forms and server-side use; and the high-performance Microsoft Excel reporting engine Essential ExcelRW for Windows Forms and server-side use.

In addition, the existing Essential Suite products Essential Grid, Essential Tools, and Essential Edit have been updated with powerful new features.

As part of the Version 2.0 rollout, Syncfusion also unveiled its "Intelli-Group" grouping technology. Stefan Hoenig, CEO of Syncfusion said, "Grouping data is a complex problem that has been over-simplified in the .NET component marketplace. With Essential Grouping we have gone the extra mile and implemented a solution that demonstrates the depth of our commitment to the customer. With this product we have simply gone where no component vendor has gone before."

Essential Suite 2.0 is fully integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Version 2002/2003 and takes full advantage of its developer-productivity features, providing advanced designers and integrated help.

Essential Suite 2.0 is priced at $1295 for the binary version and $1595 for the source code version.
