Explore WebUI Studio - 10 Patented WebDesktop Technologies

One of the most significant limitations in presentation layer design is the inability to create rounded corners—a seemingly simple thing to do. Developers often resort to complicated tricks to create this highly popular design element.

TrueShape is an innovative rendering technology that delivers true round corners—no trickery required. Not only does it render every corner perfectly, but it blends into transparent backgrounds and fills gradients precisely. TrueShape is available in many WebDesktop products, including WebDesktopManager, WebPaneManager, and WebTab.

ClickAndEdit technology is built on top of Intersoft's new design-time rendering architecture and Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005/2008 WebForm. It eliminates the need to deal with separate template views or separate controls for content editing and master control, such as TabStrip and MultiView interfaces. ClickAndEdit significantly improves productivity and wipes away complex development to make it as simple as a click.

ClickAndSelect enables direct interaction with every object nested inside the main component area. It enhances developer productivity and unleashes your creativity by providing easy access and control over the presentation layer. For example, in WebTab, developers can click to select and activate another TabItem in the collection the same way an end user could select it, and start editing immediately.

TrueFill slashes through table layout and design gridlock. It automates creating complex layouts that render perfectly in HTML/XHTML and all major browsers, but also lets you enjoy granular control over design elements with pixel-level adjustments. TrueFill eliminates common layout design nightmares and lets you focus on the finished product.

TrueDock technology provides the most precise dock options available. It intelligently docks into multiple bars or into the same row on any edge, or lets the dock float. TrueDock automatically maintains its configuration and adjusts all required settings when the dock transitions from horizontal to vertical. TrueDock offers a higher level of user interactivity and personalization, similar to the Microsoft Office 2007 toolbar.

HighClarityDesktop is the key technology behind all of WebDesktop’s components. It provides high-end functions and complete smart Window management.

HighClarityDesktop will be instant familiar to anyone who uses Windows Vista and provides the same level of interactivity and flexibility users expect from a desktop application, such as multiple windows, fast window switching, and much more.

InteractiveDesigner supercharges the PlaceHolderManager interface in IDE. WebToolBar and WebMenuBar use PlaceHolderManager as its main container to automatically dock the position in the IDE, similar to WinForm development. This interactive feature was impossible to achieve until now. InteractiveDesigner technology lets you work conveniently while enjoying total toolbar control.

GenericPersistence is built into the foundation of Intersoft's components: WebUI Framework. Instead of grinding out code for every component requiring advanced customization, let WebDesktop’s GenericPersistence technology provide reusable and consistent structure for both client- and server-side objects. Save structures and easily load them into the next server-side request, saving time and effort.

WebUI Framework relies extensively on XML for its many advantages over traditional coding. However, one significant weakness of using XML is the large file output. To address this problem, XMLCompression’s patented algorithm reduces output by 40-60%. XMLCompression is also a key feature of WebFlyPostBackManager to speed AJAX callbacks. Rely on Intersoft components to enhance large-scale enterprise applications without performance degradation.

CssOptimizer optimizes component output and solves many scalability and performance issues facing Rich Internet Application development. CssOptimizer enables all of Intersoft's components to use abbreviated class names, which alone saves up to70% smaller output, and provides automatic CSS class grouping to eliminate repetitive styles. This amazing technology is applied automatically without any code changes to every member of the WebUI Studio for ASP.NET family.
