Examples Explorers

With the recent release of Ext.NET 4, the v3 Examples Explorers have moved to their permanent Version 3 sub domain homes of examples3.ext.net and mvc3.ext.net.

github We’ve also upgraded the source code hosting to public GitHub repositories for both Examples Explorer projects.

In the past we provided .zip download packages for the projects, although now you take advantage of GitHub hosting to locally clone the repo and fork.

The full source code for the Examples Explorer has been released under the very liberal Apache 2.0 open source license. The GitHub repositories are the very source code we work with and you can participate by following along with the public development.

We will also be accepting Pull Requests from the community. If you find a bug to fix, or would like to add functionality, send us a Pull Request and we’ll get the process started. We’ll have more to say about this soon.

New 3D Bar Chart

The Ext.NET Charting Components now include the new 3D Bar Chart. A new 3D Bar Chart sample has been added to the Examples Explorer.

Converting an existing Bar Chart to a 3D Bar Chart is as simple as renaming the BarSeries to Bar3DSeries and you get a modern 3D look of your Bar chart.


// BarSeries
<Series>
<ext:BarSeries XField=”Name” YField=”Data1″ />
</Series>

// New Bar3DSeries
<Series>
<ext:Bar3DSeries XField=”Name” YField=”Data1″ />
</Series>

3.x Road Map

This release also marks the last public release of Ext.NET 3. Our development efforts are now focused on improving Ext.NET 4 with new features and major enhancements.

Even though this is the last public release, we will continue to provide technical support and priority bug fixing for at least two years; until March 30, 2018. All future revisions to Ext.NET 3 will be available to Premium Members only. Access to the latest source code is included with a Premium Support subscription.

Questions And Comments

Technical support questions are always best asked in the community Ext.NET Forums. The public discussion may help others in the future and will allow others to contribute. All other questions can be sent to hello@ext.net.
