EDITORIAL – NEW YEAR. NEW RESOLUTION. NEW, EXCITING RELEASES.
Jemmy Haryono, Vice President of Marketing |
| It's a long-standing tradition with many people to make resolutions to jump start the New Year – and we are no exception. Our 2010 resolutions are to deliver the best end-to-end solution for accelerated rich web application development and to provide first-class customer service from pre-sales to post-sales support. |
| But before we talk about 2010, let's quickly recap 2009. Last year was tough, and yet we managed to release many brilliant products and solutions. It began with a phenomenal release, 2009 R1, that delivered a vast array of new and enhanced ASP.NET controls, as well as a raft of impressive Silverlight controls. The latest WebUI Studio 2009 R2 release introduces the world's fastest scheduling component, in addition to many enhancements across our entire product lineup. In between, we successfully launched a brand new website, integrated community forum, and enhanced the Developer Network to serve you better. |
| At Intersoft, 2010 is the year of revolution. With over 40 astonishing, new Silverlight UI controls speeding toward you, developing rich business applications will never be the same again. Get ready to take your desktop application to the next level with the exciting UX Flow™ – the world's first true 3D CoverFlow for WPF. We will also be adding more members to our ASP.NET family as well. Find out more about our product roadmap on the Developer Network. Or email us to request the roadmap. |
| Last but not least, thanks to you and all our customers for your continuous support and the terrific feedback we received! We are excited about working together, smarter, and stronger in 2010! |

IN-DEPTH WITH WEBSCHEDULER 3'S TIME INTERVAL |
| Granular control over a calendar's time interval is among the top requested features in enterprise scheduling solutions. Where similar solutions fail, WebScheduler succeeds perfectly, providing the ability elegantly customize time intervals. |
| The true beauty of WebScheduler's time interval control lies in direct runtime customization: Users can change the interval via contextual menu. When changed, all data adjusts automatically to reflect the new interval setting without postback. |
| Even better, time interval control functions with any feature. For example, you can select a time range across multiple cells to create new events in one swift motion. WebScheduler smartly detects and calculates the date range to assign the start and end dates automatically. |
| A client-side API gives developers the ability to control this behavior independently or weave it into their own code. More info on WebScheduler 3's time interval is available here. |
CASE STUDY: VDI BY VERIZON MARYLAND |
 Verizon relied on WebUI Studio to develop their mission-critical, web-based CRM system, which allows Verizon to provide exceptional customer service.

Pulling data from multiple systems and databases for display and management in one centralized system was only one highly challenging requirement in Verizon's VDI.

TIPS AND TRICKS – WRAP TEXT IN WEBGRID COLUMN HEADERS
Gordon Tumewu, Chief Support Engineer |
| By default, any text exceeding WebGrid's column header width will be truncated with ellipsis. However, a grid with many lengthy and similar column captions makes this less than helpful for users. |
Truncated Column Header Captions |
| The solution is to allow multiline columns with wrapped text. Go to Layout Settings and set the HeaderWrapDefault property to True. Here is the result: |
