CodeCharge Studio update - version 3.1

We are pleased to announce the release of version 3.1 of CodeCharge Studio (CCS). The CCS version 3.1 offers enhanced productivity and data management capabilities, including:

  • Gallery Builder (Horizontal Grid)
    Create a Web based image gallery as part of your application. The resulting gallery displays images in a horizontal grid-like format.

  • FCKeditor support
    Powerful third-party rich text editing (WYSIWYG) support. CCS 3.1 features the FCKEditor component in the Toolbox and can be used in place of TextArea control.

  • Web Reporting with client-based paging
    Print reports with browser-based page breaks, without calculating page size in number of lines. Page size is calculated by the Web browser and based on printer type and configuration. Look for the "Use client paging" option in Report Builder.

  • Data updates that exclude missing form fields
    Improves the functionality of the Record and Editable Grid components. When this option in project settings is enabled, any fields that are hidden within a form (and therefore missing when submitted) will be excluded from the INSERT or UPDATE statement to preserve previous database values. When disabled, hidden fields will be saved in the database with a null value, clearing any value already in the database. The following forum posts discuss the need for this feature in detail:
    http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=73124
    http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=74559

  • Component Attributes
    Dynamic HTML attributes and variables that can be modified automatically or programmatically at runtime. Makes working with page layout more flexible and simplifies the creation of dynamic HTML output, especially where the Label control may not be functional. Component attributes can be added outside or inside standard HTML tags to dynamically apply a table row style, deactivate a field, display an ALT text for an image, etc. They should be used in place of template variables, which was an internal feature of the generated code and not flexible enough for custom use.

  • CSS-based Alternate Row Styling
    Create grids with alternate rows implemented by dynamically changing row style at run-time. This Grid Builder feature takes advantage of the new component attributes described above. A new "Set Row Style" action is also available and can be applied to existing grids to produce alternate rows.

  • Bug Fixes
    A variety of technical issues reported by users during recent months have been resolved:
    - product crashes caused by MS Internet Explorer 7 upgrade installation
    - certain HTML corruption issues when editing pages in Design view
    - occasional Visual Query Builder crashes when working with Stored Procedures
    - occasional Style Builder crashes
    - slow  speed of Code Editor when working with large script files
    - Windows Vista compatibility was also improved, however, another CCS release is expected to address issues specific to Windows Vista.

The version 3.1 of CodeCharge Studio can be obtained from the product download page at http://www.yessoftware.com/download/download_form.php?product_id=1. The installation program will take you through the necessary upgrade steps, including uninstalling a previous version of CodeCharge Studio 3.x.  We recommend backing up your projects before upgrading.

Note: after every version upgrade please press F9 after loading your project into CCS to properly re-generate and re-publish all project files.
