Ext JS Upgrade

This release of Ext.NET incorporates another big update of the underlying Ext JS framework. Upgrading to Ext JS 6.2.1 incorporates more than 750 fixes from Ext JS, including aggregate fixes from 6.2.0. Additionally, Ext.NET itself incorporates 27 new framework fixes.

New MVC Partial View RenderMode.Config

MVC Partial View RenderMode.Config provides a powerful means for partial content to be provided as an Ext config object and handled on the client-side, bringing more possibilities of single-page or dynamic applications using Ext.NET MVC.

New MVC Razor Text Blocks

The new MVC Razor @<text> block support on JavaScript handlers now provides syntax highlighting within Visual Studio while writing code.

@(X.Button()
    .Text(“Click Me”)
    .Handler(@<text>
        <script type=”text/javascript”>
            var me = this; /* bind ‘me’ to the button. */

            Ext.Msg.alert(“Alert!”, “An alert has been emitted by JavaScript!”);

            /* Block comments are fine. Just inline (//) comments will break the code */
            if (!me.textChanged) {
                me.textChanged = true; /* so that I run only once */
                me.setText(“Click Again”);
            }

            /*
             * As long as block comments, they can span several lines.
             * This won’t break.
             */
        </script>
    </text>)
) 

New Toast Component

The Toast component has been added and is a nice alternative to the Notification component that has been included within Ext.NET since the early days.

The Toast component may be used in JavaScript, markup, C# and with Razor.

See the Toast documentation for all features.

X.Toast(“Hello, world!”);

X.Toast(“A Message”, “A Title”);

var config = new Toast()
{
    Html = “Hello, world!”,
    Title = “My Title”,
};

X.Toast(config);
