\nThere is no separate trial build of the control assemblies anymore. Instead, set the LicenseKey property of the controls to disable their evaluation mode and stop displaying trial messages. If your application contains more than one control by MindFusion, you could call MindFusion.Licensing.LicenseManager.AddLicense(key) from application start-up code to specify the key once instead of setting it per each control.<\/p>\n

\nMindFusion Pack for WPF now includes support for Visual Studio 2015. The installer can create VS2015 toolbox palette for the component.<\/p>\n
\nThe new BarcodeLabel<\/a> class allow displaying EAN, UPC or QR barcodes.<\/p>\n![\"BarcodeLabel:](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/bar-codes-QR.png\")
![\"MindFusion](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Chart-16x16.png\")
MindFusion.Charting for WPF<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe chart control enables developers to create unlimited number of axes of each type – X, X2, Y and Y2. Each axis is an instance of the Axis class and has its own set of properties for complete customization – label style, brush, tick length etc. You can set the X and Y axes of each ChartSeries to a series of your choice and thus bind each chart series to different axes, if you wish.<\/p>\n![\"Multiple](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/wpf-chart-multiple-axes.png\")
\nSelected area with width smaller than MinZoomSpan does not evoke any action in the control. In addition, the new ZoomChanged<\/a> event fires whenever zoom occurs and provides useful data for the zoom action with its ZoomChangedArgs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThe cross hair control has been improved with several new properties, a method and an event. The properties are:<\/p>\n\n
\n3D charts have received plenty of improvements, new properties and performance optimizations:<\/p>\n\n
\n
![\"3D](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/wpf-chart-surface-chart.png\")
\nTwo new methods have been added for exporting the chart as an image – CreateImage<\/a> and ExportImage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nA new property has been added to the RealTimeChart library – Axis.LabelFormatProvider.<\/a> Use it to specify custom formatting of numeric labels. If required, you can specify format arguments for your format classes with Axis.LabelFormat<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"MindFusion](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/diagram16x16.png\")
MindFusion.Diagramming for WPF<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nA FreeFormNode<\/a> collects all points from users’ mouse or touch input and displays them as node’s outline. To let users draw free-form nodes interactively, set Diagram.Behavior<\/a> to DrawFreeForms<\/a> or LinkFreeforms. Use the Points<\/a> property of FreeFormNode to get or set outline points programmatically. If the Closed<\/a> property is set, the node is drawn as a closed shape and its interior filled, or otherwise the node is drawn as a poly-line. If the distance between first and last points drawn by user is shorter than Diagram.AutoCloseDistance<\/a>, the node’s Closed property is automatically set to true . AutoCloseDistance default value is Double.MaxValue , so free-form nodes are always closed.<\/p>\n![\"Wpf](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/wpf-diagram-free-shapes.png\")
\nShape formulas can now be parameterized by associating control points with Shape<\/a> objects. Each control point is passed to the shape script as a named variable. Apart from the name, you can specify the default, min and max coordinates for each parameter via the ShapeControlPoint<\/a> constructor, and whether to treat its values as percents or fixed offset.<\/p>\n
\nColumns and rows of a TableNode<\/a> can now be resized interactively if its AllowResizeColumns<\/a> or AllowResizeRows<\/a> properties are enabled. In order to resize, move the mouse pointer to the border line on column’s right side or row’s bottom side until it shows resize cursor and start dragging. The control raises TableColumnResizing<\/a> and TableRowResizing<\/a> events to let you validate new size or prevent resizing some elements.<\/p>\n
\nThe BarcodeNode<\/a> class displays EAN, UPC or QR barcodes as node’s content. In-place edit operations let users enter new numeric codes for 1D codes or text strings for QR codes. The barcode format is specified via the Format<\/a> property, the encoded number or text is set via Content<\/a>, and color of 1D bars \/ 2D modules via BarColor<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Barcode](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/barcode_diagram_nodes.png\")
\nThe diagram can now display shapes from stencil files in Visio 2003 XML stencil format (.vsx). To load a stencil file, use an instance of the VisioStencil<\/a> class. The shapes are displayed in the diagram through VisioNode<\/a> objects.<\/p>\n\n

![\"Map-16x16\"](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Map-16x16.png\")
MindFusion.Mapping for WPF<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThe ZoomControl<\/a> class lets user change interactively the current zoom level and scroll position of a MapView<\/a>. To set it up, add a ZoomControl to the page, place it anywhere over a MapView, and set the control’s Target<\/a> property to that view. Set the ZoomStep<\/a> and ScrollStep<\/a> properties to specify the amount added to view’s zoom level or scroll position by ZoomControl’s buttons.<\/p>\n![\"map-control-zooming\"](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/map-control-zooming.png\")

![\"WPF](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Report-16x16.png\")
MindFusion.Reporting for WPF<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nParameters can now be added to a report through the new Parameters<\/a> collection of the Report<\/a> class. The parameters provide name, description and value and can be of any type, including expression. For more information about parameters, check the Report Parameters<\/a> topic.<\/p>\n
\nMindFusion.Reporting for WPF reports can now display UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, EAN-13, and QR barcodes. The barcodes are represented by the new Barcode<\/a> report item.<\/p>\n![\"wpf_barcode_report_items\"](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/wpf_barcode_report_items.png\")
<\/p>\n![\"Schedule](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Calendar-16x16.png\")
MindFusion.Scheduling for WPF<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nRecurrences can be rescheduled interactively by holding down the RescheduleRecurrenceKey<\/a> while dragging a recurrent item. The control tries to preserve the current pattern of the recurrence when possible.<\/p>\n
\nA new built-in theme is available in MindFusion.Scheduling for WPF – the Light<\/a> theme. It is available through the ThemeType enumeration.<\/p>\n![\"The](\"http:\/\/mindfusion.dev\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/WinForms_Scheduler_Light_Theme.png\")
\nSeveral new properties and events have been added to the control:<\/p>\n\n
