MindFusion.Scheduling Pack R1.2013 has been released. It adds the following new features:

Visual Studio 2012 support
MindFusion.Scheduling Pack now includes support for Visual Studio 2012. The installer can create VS2012 toolbox palette for the components, and can optionally install VS2012 sample projects. In addition, toolbox palettes are now created for all .NET target frameworks supported by the respective Visual Studio versions.

MindFusion.Scheduling for ASP.NET

Miscellaneous

• Interactive resize of items is now available in all views.
• Some of the CSS classes have been renamed to provide better consistency across themes. Check the updated CSS Classes topic for details.
• The bundled jQuery version has been upgraded to 1.9.

MindFusion.Scheduling for WinForms

Exporting
New exporter has been added - PdfExporter, which enables exporting calendars to the PDF format.

Improved Custom Drawing
Items, including their shadows, can now be custom-drawn completely through the new ItemDrawing event. The ItemDrawing event is raised before the item is rendered by the system and can be used to prevent the default item rendering. In addition, two new events have been added to the Calendar class - BeginItemDrawing and EndItemDrawing, signaling the start and end of the item drawing phase respectively.

Miscellaneous

• All resource collections now implement IList<T> where T is the type of resources in the collection.
• The GetExactDateAt method works more consistently in various scenarios.
• Custom texts and icons can now be supplied to the Print Preview form of the scheduling reports.
• All texts within the calendar can now be customized explicitly through the new CustomizeText event of the Calendar class.

MindFusion.Scheduling for Silverlight/WPF

Improved item presenter
The ItemPresenter class now provides the start and end time of the represented item fragment through the new StartTime and EndTime properties. In addition, derived classes can override the new OnStartTimeChanged, OnEndTimeChanged, and OnItemPropertyChanged methods to get notified when the StartTime or EndTime properties change or when any property of the underlying item changes.

Improved recurrence
The Recurrence class now exposes a new event - ValidateOccurrence, which can be used to validate and customize the occurrences of a recurrence pattern.
