DevExtreme Blogs

Earlier this year, we published DevExtreme's 2018 Roadmap and asked for your input on our development plans.

It’s been a while since the last blog post about DevExtreme Reactive controls and it’s time to catch up with the latest developments! Our developers have been hard at work and we are now on version 1.7. Here’s a summary of new functionality.

Writing for the web these days is very different from that a few years ago. The same goes for our control suites for ASP.NET: over the past decade we've evolved our original WebForms subscription in many different directions, and currently have five different suites, each different from each other, each providing slightly different capabilities

Here’s another piece of fantastic news for React users: our DevExtreme React Chart is available now as a CTP release!

With our latest release, the DevExtreme components now support the Bootstrap 4 framework in two major ways

Just over a week ago, we wrote about Vue.js for the first time, and today there are some big news: the first public version of our native Data Grid for Vue.js is now available!

If you are a regular reader of our blog posts, you must have noticed that we keep stressing how important customer feedback is to our development process. Sometimes we use it to make big decisions, to prioritize one large feature over another — other times, we make small changes to control APIs over time, on the basis of your thoughts and preferences.

I love it when our devs can squeeze out even more performance improvements from our controls. So I'm happy to report that we've improved the DevExtreme DataGrid and TreeList's performance for the following features: virtual scrolling, fixed columns, and auto column width. Let's take a look.

The DevExtreme Data Visualization widgets (i.e. charts) have added some notable improvements in our next major release, v18.1.

The world of JavaScript frameworks is continuously evolving. As a result, we receive requests for integration with a specific new library every day. For a while now, Vue.js has been mentioned to us more than others. The framework is growing into a serious contender in the UI space, having accumulated almost as many GitHub stars as React.

As you may know, manually coding your own Web API controllers in ASP.NET MVC can be tedious. Web API controllers are important because they deliver your server's back-end data to your client-side views. Writing each CRUD (create, read, update, delete) method for all your database tables may tempt you to start to copy-and-paste code. But that can lead to typos and errors after deployment.
