Development toolmaker GrapeCity issued the year's first update to its ComponentOne toolkit of UI controls, adding new features for Microsoft's red-hot Blazor project and .NET 5 Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation applications.

Microsoft says the company is a top component vendor for Blazor, along with several others.

The Pittsburgh company sells .NET controls as part of its ComponentOne offering, providing more than 400 extensible for for .NET, JavaScript and Xamarin.

For Blazor, ComponentOne 2021 v1 includes new C1Window and C1DateRangePicker components, while other Blazor components received new functionality and improvements. "Our newest Blazor Edition continues to expand with essential new input and layout controls that can be used for server or client-side Blazor C# web apps," said Greg Lutz, ComponentOne product manager. "The new pop-up and input controls not only add extra functionality to our fast datagrid, FlexGrid but also can be used to fill in the gaps in your apps."

New .NET 5 WinForms controls include C1FlexPivot, C1Maps, C1TreeView, C1FlexReport, C1FlexViewer, C1Document, C1Input, and C1Command, along with several themes and updated controls.

New .NET 5 WPF controls (also working with the latest .NET 6 previews) include C1Calendar, C1ProgressBar, C1Accordion, C1DragDropManager, C1SpellChecker, and C1RadialMenu.

New controls or updates were also announced for ASP.NET MVC, Data Service Components and Xamarin.
