[JS-Support @Userware]

Dear users,

Here is what's new since Beta 11.8:

• Grid.RowSpan and ColumnSpan!
  Note: in the Simulator and on older browsers (older browsers are browsers with a red color on this page), if a spanned element overlaps a non-spanned one, both elements are placed in the same cell. We will fix the Simulator in a future update.
• The Grid control has been revamped: on modern browsers (modern browsers are browsers with a non-red color on this page) it now uses the CSS Grid Layout instead of html <table>. This leads to:
  - Better performance
  - Fewer DOM elements
  - Almost identical behavior as the MS XAML Grid!
• 3X faster DataGrid control
• Browser.Window.Navigate(uri) to navigate to a different HTML page
• ListBox.SelectionMode.Extended
• LinearGradientBrush.SpreadMethod.Repeat
• Improved SL compatibility: use the "MouseRightButtonUp" event instead of "RightTapped"

If you haven't already, be sure to check out the screenshots of the new Silverlight Migration Wizard introduced in the previous Beta 11.5!

Hi, Fuzioncode and welcome to the forums.

Thank you for reporting this issue. We have been able to reproduce it. It will be fixed in the very next build.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for the work you continue to do with your product. I purchased a Pro license some time back and I am getting to the point of actually using it for a production app. I really would like to see support for Visual Studio 2017 as soon as possible. Do you have a projected date or a rough estimate for when this may be available? Thanks!

I also want to use it in Visual Studio 2017. What is the time-frame to have it be available as a new project selection in Visual Studio 2017? I can start the Project in Visual Studio 2015 and then open the created 2015 solution file in 2017 and it does seem to work but is more limited in the XAML view when in 2017.

Thanks for your feedback.

VS 2017 support is expected within 5 weeks. The extensibility framework of Visual Studio has changed a lot in VS 2017 (no more registry, the possibility to install multiple instances of Visual Studio, etc.), so this is why we need a little more time to get it done.

Thank you.
