Production-ready controls

The following controls are to be developed to production-ready standards for ASP.NET MVC:

  • Chat UI
  • SpeechToText

New control

Block Editor

The ASP.NET MVC Block Editor control enables users to create and organize content using flexible, structured blocks. It supports quick block insertion through slash commands, inline text formatting, and intuitive drag-and-drop functionality for blocks. The editor includes specialized block types such as quotes, callouts, and dividers to enhance content presentation. Offering smooth keyboard navigation and real-time rendering, it delivers an adaptable and user-friendly editing experience for modern web applications.

Diagram

Container support

This feature allows users to group shapes and organize them into a container, logically clustering related items.

UML sequence diagram

This feature helps users create UML sequence diagrams programmatically. Users can also create these diagrams directly by importing Mermaid syntax data.

Word Processor

Grouped shapes

This feature renders grouped shapes, allowing users to view them exactly as they appear in a Word document when opened or saved.

Ribbon interface

The ribbon interface is an alternative to the traditional toolbar. It organizes commands into intuitive tabs and groups, helping users locate and access tools efficiently.

Asynchronous document loading

This feature allows documents to load in the background without blocking the user interface, enabling users to interact with other parts of the webpage while loading continues.

Word Library

Editable regions in protected documents

This feature allows users to set editable regions in protected documents, enabling specific parts to remain editable while the rest stay locked. This is useful for templates or forms like contracts, where users can update only designated parts of the Word document without altering the rest.

Word conversion enhancements

Advanced shape formatting

This feature includes gradient fill, transparency in fill, and pattern fill. It ensures that visually rich Word documents are accurately rendered in PDFs and images. 

Recolor pictures

This feature preserves recolor effects such as grayscale, sepia, and color tone adjustments applied to images in Word documents. This ensures consistent visual presentation in PDFs and images, especially for marketing materials and branded reports.

Improve symbol rendering

Fallback fonts will be used when a symbol’s glyph is missing in the specified font. This prevents missing characters and ensures the correct rendering of symbols in the converted PDF and image files.

Crop to shape

This feature preserves images cropped to predefined shapes like ovals during conversion of Word files to PDFs and images. This is especially useful in resumes, where profile pictures are often shaped for a clean and professional look.

Localized date and time fields

This feature allows users to render date and time fields in the appropriate regional format during PDF and image conversions based on the language specified for each field in the Word document. This ensures culturally appropriate formatting for multilingual audiences.

Multilingual list numbering

This feature allows users to preserve list number formats, such as in Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, and Thai, during conversion of Word files to PDFs and images. This maintains the intended numbering style in multilingual documents for improved readability.

Page number styles

This feature supports advanced page number formatting in PDF and image conversions, including formats and separators like hyphens or colons. This is especially useful for technical manuals or academic documents that follow structured pagination for navigation and referencing.

Combined diacritical characters rendering

This feature allows users to render combined diacritical characters accurately during conversion of Word files to PDFs and images. This ensures that scripts such as Hindi or Arabic are displayed accurately, maintaining text clarity and linguistic precision in multilingual documents.

PDF Library

Embed subset fonts in PDF-to-PDF/A conversion

This feature lets users embed subset fonts when converting a PDF to PDF/A. Subsetting fonts helps reduce the final size of the document.

AES GSM encryption

This feature provides advanced security by enabling AES GSM encryption for PDF documents, ensuring that sensitive information is protected with robust encryption mechanisms.

Form fields grouping

This feature allows users to group form fields in a PDF document, enabling better organization. Grouped fields can be manipulated together, improving efficiency in form processing.

DataGrid

Integrating charts into the grid

This feature allows users to compare selected grid data visually using various chart types such as bar and line. It enhances the application’s data analysis and visualization capabilities, making it easier to identify trends and patterns in the grid.

TreeGrid

Sticky headers

This feature keeps the TreeGrid header fixed at the top while scrolling. This helps users easily see column names when working with large amounts of or deeply nested data.

Scheduler

Improve user experience with virtual scrolling

This improvement enhances the virtual scrolling user experience when handling large datasets. Only the events for the necessary resources will be re-rendered, reducing resource strain and ensuring smoother interactions, especially with large volumes of event data.

Gantt Chart

Toggle weekend visibility in timeline

This feature allows users to show or hide weekend cells in the Gantt Chart timeline. By hiding weekends, users can focus on working days, making project timelines easier to read and manage.

Display work breakdown structure (WBS) column

The WBS column displays the hierarchical structure of tasks, helping project managers organize, track, and analyze tasks based on work breakdown levels. It improves task clarity and supports structured project planning.

Task constraints in Gantt Chart

This enhancement visually represents task constraints, such as “Start No Earlier Than” or “Finish No Later Than,” in the chart. Users can better understand dependencies and scheduling limits, supporting smarter and conflict-free planning.

Pivot Table

Server-side classic layout

This feature renders the pivot table in a classic layout using the server-side engine for relational data. It provides a detailed and traditional tabular data presentation, with each row label displayed at different levels (columns).

Value sorting on both axes

This feature allows users to perform value-based sorting simultaneously on both the row and column axes, regardless of the value axis, for flexible data analysis.

Export as Excel PivotTable

This feature allows users to export the pivot table in Excel format, enabling further pivot-specific manipulation within the exported Excel document.

Headers and footers in server-side Excel export

This feature allows users to add headers and footers when exporting the pivot table to an Excel document using the server-side option. This enhancement aligns the server-side export behavior with the client-side, offering consistent document formatting.

Spreadsheet

Skip styles during Excel import

This feature excludes style properties when importing Excel files through the server-side library. Skipping unnecessary styles helps reduce JSON size and improve performance when handling large files.

Rich Text Editor

Table row and column copy and paste

This feature allows users to copy and paste entire rows or columns within a table. This streamlines editing workflows.

Bottom toolbar

This feature allows users to render the toolbar at the bottom of the editor. This improves accessibility and layout adaptability, especially in mobile interfaces.

Horizontal line

This feature allows users to insert horizontal lines to separate content sections visually. This improves readability and document structure in long-form content or reports.

Maximum file size

This feature validates file upload by specifying maximum file size limits for image, audio, and video uploads. This ensures better control over content size and prevents oversized uploads.

TextBox

Adornments

This feature allows users to enhance text input fields with prefix or suffix elements (such as icons, buttons, or text labels). It improves usability by providing visual cues, interactive controls, or additional context directly within the TextBox.

TextArea

Adornments

This feature allows users to enrich multiple-line text input fields with prefix or suffix elements (such as icons, buttons, or helper text). It enhances functionality by offering visual indicators, interactive options, or contextual information seamlessly integrated into the TextArea.
