MESCIUS inc., a leading global provider of enterprise software development tools, has made a significant update with the release of ComponentOne 2024 v2. This latest version, launched on January 22, 2025, incorporates numerous enhancements aimed at improving developer efficiency and user experience.
One of the most noteworthy features of ComponentOne 2024 v2 is its full support for Microsoft's .NET 9. This update comes on the heels of Microsoft’s official .NET 9 announcement in November 2024, which introduced extensive changes across various components. MESCIUS has worked diligently throughout the year with the preview versions of .NET 9 to ensure that any adjustments in functionality, such as modifications to drag-and-drop operations, clipboard mechanics, and binary serialization, are seamlessly integrated within its product offerings. Like the previous versions, ComponentOne continues to only provide Long-Term Support (LTS) packages, ensuring that users can rely on stable and secure versions of their software tools.
Alongside .NET 9 support, the ComponentOne team has introduced Microsoft Office 365 Themes for WinForms and WPF applications, which are now production-ready. The themes are designed to provide desktop applications with contemporary Windows software aesthetics. With options including white, gray, dark, green, and colorful variations, developers can easily maintain a modern look across their applications. For those looking for more customization, a standalone Theme Designer application allows users to create personalized themes derived from the Office 365 style guidelines.
The release also brings enhancements to the popular 'Flex' family of controls, making significant strides in functionality. Notable updates include the capability for FlexGrid to import Excel data seamlessly, enhancing data handling possibilities for users. FlexChart has seen improvements as well, with added features for zooming and panning in both WinForms and WPF editions, which will greatly benefit users who need detailed data visualization.
Additionally, FlexViewer is now fully operational within Blazor environments, marking a substantial move towards modern web applications. A beta version for WinUI is also available, contributing to MESCIUS's commitment to cross-platform functionality. The Product Manager, Greg Lutz, emphasized the ease of use that comes with the new built-in themes, noting that they require no coding to implement. This user-centric approach allows developers to focus on functionality without compromising UI aesthetics.
MESCIUS inc. stands tall as one of the largest providers of developer tools globally, showcasing its commitment with a workforce of approximately 400 employees and a vast customer base of hundreds of thousands worldwide. The company remains dedicated to equipping enterprises with cutting-edge developer solutions and software components tailored to the evolving needs of the industry.
