Finally on the desktop, we bring our entire lineup to fully support WPF platform, including our enterprise-grade reporting suite and data visualization. We're thrilled to have something new for everyone."
“Intersoft’s latest Premier Studio, strongly integrated into Visual Studio 2015, leverages key technologies like .NET and C# to help development teams build powerful and scalable web, desktop and mobile apps on the Microsoft platform,” says Tom Lindeman, Director of the Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program at Microsoft. “With huge demand on web, desktop and mobile apps, development team needs powerful and comprehensive tools like Intersoft's Premier Studio to address key challenges in various aspects of enterprise apps development, as well as to increase their productivity and achieve faster time-to-market delivery for consumers and enterprise audiences alike."
Crosslight 5 introduces Android Material library, a brand-new powerful framework for rapidly building Android apps with Material design aesthetics. Building upon Crosslight's mature and rock-solid foundation, the new Material library provides comprehensive APIs designed to make it easy for developers to add Material experiences such as list-to-detail shared transitions, floating action buttons, parallax scrolling, collapsible toolbars, and much more.
"The new Crosslight Android library sets a new bar for modern Android apps development. We designed our APIs with these goals in mind: simple, elegant, and intuitive," said Andry Handoko, Intersoft's architect lead for Android. "Developers can now easily develop Android apps with amazing Material experiences in just a few line-of-code. Things like adding card views, shared element, transitions, parallax image, swipe gesture, and many more can be done with just a single API call away. With zero needs on AXML configuration, the scale of development time saving and productivity increase is exponential.
Every small and intricate details such as the snackbar, grid view with card view support, multiple floating action buttons, tab view, master detail view, split view, and search view, are now an integral part of Crosslight 5. Developers will also enjoy fundamental improvements such as centralized title in the ViewModel, automatic back button visibility, XML-less bar items, resource overrides, vibrant Crosslight material theme and streamlined fragment navigation.
Beyond massive new features, Crosslight 5 also brings much improved developer experiences for cross-platform mobile development. As a result, developers can now quickly get started with Crosslight from a blank Xamarin solution or existing Xamarin projects. With the availability of Crosslight packages in NuGet, supported on both Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio, developers can easily add Crosslight extensions and update to new version with just a single button click. In addition, Crosslight 5 also features a refreshed Project Wizard which now supports creation of Android Material project along with a variety of Material theme and color selection.
The improved developer experience is paramount in building mission-critical applications that may require around-the-clock support, aligning to the company's overall vision and mission as the industry's leader in enterprise mobile development. This release publishes over 60 Crosslight packages to NuGet, along with signed Google and Xamarin Support packages.
"Working with Crosslight to create amazing cross-platform apps is now as easy as 1, 2, 3.", says Nicholas Lie, Intersoft's cross-platform technical evangelist, "Developers can now simply start from a new Crosslight solution or download existing samples, restore NuGet packages and run – it is that simple. We have successfully eliminated so many tedious processes existed in the past versions, and made it completely frictionless in this highly-anticipated Crosslight release. We believe every developer, whether an advanced or a newbie, will enjoy the wonderful, much streamlined Crosslight development experience."
Crosslight 5 comes fueled with new data visualization and UI components to make enterprise mobile development even easier. Available on both iOS and Android platforms, the new gauge and circular gauge enables developers to easily add stunning dashboards to their apps. A signature pad component and a refreshed calendar component are also included in the release. All new components are designed with full compliance to the latest platform standards such as universal storyboard support for iOS, and Material support for Android.
Crosslight 5 also updates its iOS libraries with an improved iOS 9 support and adds storyboard support to all iOS view controllers. In addition, Crosslight.iOS adds modern transparency transition API for navigation controller, allowing seamless and immersive push transition animation from one ViewController to another. The entire samples and project templates have been updated to align with the latest standards in iOS development.
WebUI Studio, the company's best selling toolset for web development, brings major groundbreaking features leveraging the latest web standards in this latest release. The new WebUI introduces a completely redesigned user interface across all 40 components, delivering gorgeous and modern aesthetics demanded in today's web applications. The all-new modern theme is thoughtfully designed to provide a consistent and unified theme for all WebUI components which share common styles based on visual semantics. As a result, developers can now quickly build powerful and immersive web applications with minimal effort, and enable easy theme customization on centralized semantic styles rather than multiple individual styles.
The release brings major upgrades to all flagship WebUI components joining the immense UI revolution which include WebGrid 10, WebCombo 7, WebInput 5, WebDesktop 5, WebScheduler 5, WebTextEditor 3, and WebTreeView 2. Beyond just a typical interface facelift, these flagship components have been dramatically improved with more efficient rendering and newer scripting API to deliver even faster performance and pixel-identical result across various modern browsers. Additionally, the new WebUI introduces hundreds of SVG icons exclusively designed for WebUI components, delivering crystal-clear icons and retina-sharp glyphs scalable to any screen resolutions and hi-dpi displays.
"The 2016 release is a major, highly-important milestone for our WebUI development roadmap.", says Leo Chandra, Intersoft's web developer tools lead, "We reimagined the user interface of all 40 components with a modern theme that look beautiful and consistent when used together in the application. The process of redesigning such a large number of components in a single release requires a very meticulous and diligent orchestration among our top designers, developers and architects. The result is an absolutely beautiful masterpiece with deep attention to every detail – which we trust our customers will love and appreciate."
Building on highly-efficient SCSS preprocessor and designed to be compatible with widely-adopted CSS frameworks like Bootstrap, the new WebUI modernizes and simplifies the way developers working with web projects which is made possible as component styles are now separated out from the logical view. The modern workflow emphasizes on clear separation-of-concern which allows developers to focus on building the functionality of the application, while at the same time enabling designers to prototype user interface styles in external SCSS files. With SCSS, developers and designers can easily leverage CSS3 selectors and advanced syntaxes like mixins and variables to customize any appearance aspects of the WebUI components. This workflow is instrumental to support modern web application development with the diversity, dynamic and fast-evolving of web technologies and trends.
WebUI 2016 ships with full support for latest major browsers including Internet Explorer 11, Edge, Safari 9, Chrome 48 and Firefox 44.

In addition, a comprehensive set of intuitive designers for chart is also included in this release, allowing developers easily define the data source and chart properties right from the report designer surface.
"The latest ClientUI release was the result of our continuous commitment for Windows-based application development," says Jacky, Intersoft's tools lead for the Windows platform, "We are excited to bring our years of expertise in Silverlight tools development to the WPF platform which receives increasing demands among solution providers, ISVs and enterprise, naturally reflecting on the direction changes Microsoft made in its latest Windows 10. Along with the new chart support for our reporting suite, we also shipped a converter for quickly migrating existing Crystal Reports files. We have also added many new samples for the WPF platform which demonstrate the best practices for enterprise application development."
