WebCombo 4.0 is the most significant major upgrade since initial version of WebCombo containing key enhancements in user interface, entry behaviors and full declarative data binding support.
If you are planning to upgrade your existing web application to use WebCombo.NET 4.0, please take the following points into consideration:
- WebCombo 4.0 is especially designed for ASP.NET 2.0 in order to fully support native databinding features and new design-time features to improve developer's productivity.
If your existing web application is still running on ASP.NET 1.x (developed using Visual Studio 2003), you cannot upgrade to version 4.0. We strongly encourage developers to start migrating to Visual Studio 2005 to obtain many benefits and features introduced in .NET 2.0.
If you are a new web developer and would like to develop ASP.NET 2.0 web application using WebCombo 4.0, you may want to check out Microsoft's Visual Web Developer Express. Visual Web Developer Express is a lightweight version of Visual Studio 2005, and is provided for free by Microsoft. Since that WebCombo 4.0 is built on the top of Visual Studio 2005 architecture, Visual Web Developer Express is fully supported as well.
