DNM RAD Version v.1.40

WITH EVENTS CALENDAR CONTROL

This version of the DNM RAD (v.1.4) is characterized by a drive to further enhance the visualization aspect in DNM RAD. As in all our releases, we have listened to what our ever-growing community had to say and we have implemented them. Needless to say is that there are many more exciting enhancements that we are testing right now and which will be integrated in the DotNetMushroom RAD so stay tuned for much much more!

Version 1.4 contains the following features:

• All the features found in the Trial version (v.1.10)
• All the features found in v.1.20, that is:

	External DataSources: You can connect to external SQL databases using a connection string
	Linked Tables: Tables can be created using the connection string specified in datasources
	Direct Queries: Direct queries can be used to call a table directly without going through the DNM Parser. This will give access to the user to query tables that are being called using external datasources
	Query Designer: The query designer UI is now more rich giving the user clear distinction between reserved words and other syntax
	Javascript Designer: The JavaScript designer UI is now more rich giving the user clear distinction between reserved words and other syntax
	Template Designer: The template designer UI is now more rich giving the user clear distinction between HTML tags and other syntax
	Line Numbers & Maximize: All designers include line numbers and a maximize function
	Packaging: Packaging has beed upgraded to handle external datasources therefore if you are using an application with EDS and unpackage it to another installation, all you need to do is to change the connection string, if necessary, and you're all set up to go online

• All the features of DNM RAD 1.30, that is:

	The Chart Control: Using the Chart control, one can apply a data source to represent the data in a graphical manner. DNM RAD 1.3 enables data to be represented by a Line Chart, Bar Chart or a Pie Chart
	The Captcha Control: Enhances the validation control arsenal in the DNM RAD since it gives you the opportunity to increase form validation in your DNM RAD applications
	Improved Speed Performance: A 40% speed improvement over DNM RAD 1.2 has been achieved through CSS and Javascript Optimization and Compression

• And the powerful Events Calendar control, which is new for v1.4:

The Events Calendar Control

Using the Calendar control, one can easily get data from a table in DNM RAD and display them in a calendar as shown below

Features of the Events Calendar Control are:

	Easy User Interface customization via CSS:One can easily customize how the calendar looks like via CSS. A default, usable User Interface (like the one shown above) is already available.
	Automatic Plotting of Events:Calendar is bound to a source table and so any change in the table's data (New / Edited / Deleted Events) are automatically plotted on the calendar
	Preset Days, Months & Years: The calendar comes with the correct days / months and years so all you need to do is plot your events against them
	Clickable Events:Each event can be made clickable so that a user can see more details about it on the same website or any other external link
	Event Summary:A summary of a particular event can be seen by the user upon hovering over it
