The Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 extension packages are linked below: * :package: [Visual Studio 2019](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/setup.wisej.com/downloads/Wisej.NET-3-VS2019.vsix) * :package: [Visual Studio 2022](https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/setup.wisej.com/downloads/Wisej.NET-3-VS2022.vsix) ## Wisej.NET Targets .NET 7 Wisej.NET 3.5 is now compiled against .NET 7. This means that existing .NET 6 projects that would like to use the latest version of 3.5 must update the target framework dependency. ## Wisej.NET Hybrid and Offline Support Wisej.NET 3.5 is now able to run on iOS, Android, and MacOS devices using the [EmbedIO ](https://github.com/unosquare/embedio/)server in a new Wisej.NET Hybrid shell build using MAUI's native integrations. {% embed url="" %} Wisej.NET Hybrid includes three new project templates for creating applications:

New Wisej.NET Hybrid Templates

### Client Application This project template is used to create a Wisej.NET Hybrid Client. The Client project builds and runs an executable (.exe, .apk, .ipa, etc.) that can be deployed on any desktop or mobile platform. {% hint style="success" %} This template is based on .NET MAUI. You can interact with this project the same way you would with any other MAUI project. {% endhint %} ### **Remote Application** Allows developers to build and deploy a traditional Wisej.NET application with the added ability of interacting with the Hybrid device's native functionalities. This application is deployed to a remote web server such as IIS, Kestrel, or Nginx on Windows or Linux. {% hint style="success" %} Alternatively, you can add the [Wisej-3-Hybrid](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Wisej-3-Hybrid/) NuGet package to an existing Wisej.NET project. {% endhint %} {% hint style="warning" %} To use native device functionalities, you must access this application through the **Wisej.NET Hybrid Client Application** {% endhint %} ### Local Application Allows developers to build and deploy applications that run entirely on the Hybrid device. The project template contains similar features to the Remote application template such as a **Page** control. {% hint style="danger" %} This project needs to be linked into the **Wisej.NET Hybrid Client Application** to use. {% endhint %} ## API and Component Enhancements In 3.5 we also focused on extending the programming side of Wisej.NET with a number of enhancements to the object model, data a binding, the various components. ### New Features * [ListViewItem ](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/lists-and-grids/listview/wisej.web.listviewitem)gained the new Visible property. It allows the application to hide items without having to remove and add them back to the [Items ](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/lists-and-grids/listview#items)collection. * All controls that show a label gained a new `AutoToolTip` property. When set to `true` and the text is truncated, it will automatically use the title attribute to show the full label as a native tooltip. * The [Validation ](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/extenders/validation)extender now supports the [IDataErrorInfo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.idataerrorinfo) interface and data binding. We also added the `Enabled` property to the base [ValidationRule](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/extenders/validation/wisej.web.validationrule) class to allow the code to disable a specific validation rule without removing it from the Validation extender. * [DataGridView](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/lists-and-grids/datagridview) exposes the CreateSummaryRow, CreateDataBoundColumn, and CreateDataGridViewColumnFromType methods as public virtual to allow an application to customize the grid's inner behavior and fully control the automatica creation of rows and columns. * The [ErrorProvider ](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/extenders/wisej.web.errorprovider)extender allows a derived class to override its methods and fires the new ErrorChanged event to allow an application to customize error message and icons in a single location. * `TextBox.Text` now converts all \n to \r\n when `Multiline` is `true`. Previously Wisej.NET allowed the browser to strip \r\n and instead return only \n as a new line. ### New Constructors Most controls have gained several new constructors, some with optional and default arguments, that allow developers to use the controls in code adopting a more flexible and easier syntax: ```csharp // Previous syntax. var button1 = new Button { Text = "Click Me", Size = new Size(100, 24), Location = new Point(10, 10) }); button1.Click += (s, e) => { AlertBox.Show("Clicked!"); }; this.Controls.Add(button1); // New syntax. this.Controls.Add( new Button( "Click Me", new Point(10, 10), new Size(100, 24), (s, e) => { AlertBox.Show("Clicked!"); }) ); ``` ### Common Method Chaining All basic methods in [Control ](https://docs.wisej.com/api/wisej.web/general/control)now return `this` to allow code to chain calls: ```csharp this.textBox1.Show().CenterToParent().BringToFront(); ``` ## Bootstrap Dark Theme Wisej.NET 3.5 includes a new theme for building dark-style applications. The new Bootstrap Dark theme (BootstrapDark-4) is based on the existing Bootstrap-4 light theme.

## New Extensions ### Chat Control The new Chat control can be used to build conversations into an existing Wisej.NET application. The new chat control supports text and custom message types, allowing users to share any type of control or data in the conversation.

All containers inheriting from **ScrollablePanel** support the Pull-to-Refresh component.

Developers are required to purchase the following licenses from [Dynamsoft](https://www.dynamsoft.com/): * Dynamsoft Barcode Reader – JavaScript Web SDK * Dynamsoft Document Normalizer – JavaScript Web SDK {% embed url="" %} Get the Dynamsoft Premium Extension {% endembed %} ### Mobiscroll Premium Extension The new [Mobiscroll](https://mobiscroll.com/) premium extension gives developers a suite of mobile-friendly controls and components to use in Wisej.NET applications. Developers are required to purchase a license from Mobiscroll for use of any components. The Wisej.NET integration uses the **Mobiscroll JavaScript integration**. {% embed url="" %} Get the MobiScroll Premium Extension {% endembed %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
