Montreal, Quebec, Canada - May 13, 2008: VisualHint releases Smart PropertyGrid.Net 3.0, featuring complete support for right to left languages, lazy loading for performance, and many new features, like property value icons and incremental search while typing, for an increased usability.
Smart PropertyGrid.Net 3.0 sets a new standard for this component that was at first intended to be used only in Visual Studio. After having greatly improved the way multiple target instances can be handled, which throws out the Microsoft PropertyGrid behavior, this version shines with a first-class support for right to left languages, like hebrew and arabic, something rarely seen among .net components. The grid is perfectly mirrored in every aspect and will bring a new experience for your customers.
