DayPilot News Blog

On April 1 2007, a new version of DayPilot Pro was released.

It's a big step from DayPilot 3.1 - this release introduced a first set of AJAX features:

• Event resizing by drag&drop.
• Event moving by drag&drop.
• Event creating by drag&drop.
• Event deleting from context menu.

I'm proud of two things:

• The AJAX features don't require any third party library (including ASP.NET AJAX from Microsoft). The control is fully self-contained and you just need to drag it from the Visual Studio Toolbox to start using it in your project like in previous versions.
• The AJAX callback handling is as easy as PostBack handling. Only one more line is required (see more in the documentation for AJAX event moving feature). You can even use the same event handler for both PostBack and AJAX callback.
  

You can test all the AJAX features on the main demo page. The demo is the best place to see the new features. However, you can also check:

• DayPilot Pro 3.5 release notes (includes new features description)
• DayPilot Pro feature overview (updated)

And we're not finished yet. The development continues and even more new features are coming soon:

• DayPilot Pro 3.6 (planned for 15 April)
• DayPilot Pro 4.0 (planned for 1 May)

As DayPilot Pro is getting more features there is also a lot more to explain. I'm working on a detailed documentation and a new tutorial. You can already use DayPilot Pro 3.5 server-side API reference (MSDN style).

My thanks go to all the users who are suggesting and discussing new features and are patiently testing the pre-release versions.
