Nightly news, 11 May 2012

A strange week at Mindscape HQ as the troops have been primarily focused on working out how to use the motion-activated candy dispenser… and then how to stop it again. But fear not, in between all the wild Kinect-style gesticulations, we have managed to bash out a good crop of features and fixes. Here’s what you’ll find in this week’s nightly builds.

WPF Elements

  • Added DataGridColumn.Foreground property
  • DataGridColumn.DisplayTemplate is now respected when using DisplayMemberBinding
  • DataGridColumn.DisplayMemberBinding now supports StringFormat
  • DataGridColumn now respects DisplayNameAttribute when using PropertyName or DisplayMemberBinding
  • Added ToolTipBinding property for charting data series
  • Scatter charts now support missing data points (when a value is null or NaN)
  • You can now set the starting (Minimum) value of a logarithmic axis scale
  • Charting performance improvements
  • Added built-in nullable type editors to DataGrid and PropertyGrid

Web Workbench

  • CoffeeScript compiler now warns if a file contains mixed tabs and spaces
  • Fix for Less compiler error when calling colour functions on a named (not hex) colour
  • Fix for performance problem when using Pro Power Tools Enhanced Scroll Bar with the ‘show bookmarks and breakpoints’ option
  • Fixed a couple of highlighting errors

LightSpeed

  • Added MarkPropertyChanged method so that properties can be manually marked as dirty — for example, when changing properties of a mutable user-defined type. Mutable value objects! Forsooth!

WPF Diagrams

  • DiagramBitmapRenderer now handles dynamic resources

As usual the free editions of the nightly builds are available right now from the downloads page, and the full editions from the store.
