Resco, the company I think of when I go to explore my Pocket PC, since I use Resco Explorer as a replacement for the built in File Explorer, today announced availability of a new custom control to ease the development of Microsoft Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC applications: Resco SmartGrid .NET, a Grid control optimized for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Compact Framework.
According to the company, when creating this control, Resco took account of the rapidly growing number of mobile application developers and lack of specific controls capable of efficient work in the environment of Windows Mobile-based devices that are small in screen size and have limited CPU performance. To increase performance, Resco integrated into the Resco SmartGrid .NET control several advanced graphical functions and the support of native mobile databases, allowing quick loading of data (the control automatically loads only the visible data).
“When developing mobile applications and enterprise solutions, we have noticed the need of a powerful Grid control, made specifically for the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework platform” says Pavol Zajac, product manager of Resco, Enterprise Solutions. “That is why we have designed the Resco SmartGrid control so that it can work with extensive data sources in real time even on mobile devices lacking performance.”
Another important property of the Resco SmartGrid .NET control is its support of XML templates. This state-of-the-art technology allows the developers to design and develop applications using the technique of separation of form design and functionality, allowing so development of applications intended for different Windows platforms.
”The ability to optimize applications for mobile devices with limited resources is vital for developers,” said Christopher Flores, group product manager for the Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft Corp. “The .NET Compact Framework was designed to provide developers with everything they need to build mobile applications and nothing they don’t. Microsoft is pleased to see Resco offer these valuable controls to the developer community.”
