The calendar is now kryptonized
A few hours after announcing the addition of a totally new MonthCalendar to the DateTimePicker supplied in Smart FieldPackEditor, here is an addon class that will paint the calendar with the Krypton palettes.
A new MonthCalendar for the DateTimePicker and the PropertyGrid
There was a miss in the DateTimePicker. The editor was able to take any CultureInfo to localize the displayed strings but the popup calendar was not, simply because SFPE was still using the Microsoft MonthCalendar which accepts only the culture of the thread. It had to be fixed so I decided to write my own calendar.

An interactive calendar on your windows desktop
In 2002, when VisualHint was not born yet, I was proposing some components written in C++/MFC under the name aircom.org. The MFC PropertyGrid appeared there, as well as a DateTimePicker and color components.

A suffix for the day of the month in the DateTimePicker
The TimeSpanEditor was able to do it but not the DateTimePicker due to the way DateTime.Parse works. I have changed that and the DateTimePicker is now able to show a different suffix depending on the day of the month. Here is an animated screenshot:

A TimeSpan editor for .Net
It seems there is no TimeSpan editor for .Net. Can you believe it? So when a customer asked me if it was possible to make one with Smart FieldPackEditor.Net, I realized I could fill a gap with a full featured duration editor, based on the flexibility of SFPE. And this is what is coming in version 1.2.

The PropertyGrid gets Office 2007 and other themes
If you skin your application with famous themes like Office 2007 (blue, black, silver), Office 2003 or Vista, you will be happy to know that SPG.Net now offers these themes too. Here is a (resized) screenshot:

Screencast: How to synchronize two PropertyGrids?
A visitor who wanted to evaluate SPG asked me this question the other day: “I want to build a view to compare two objects visually. I want to display two property grids, one for each object. But these grids must be visually sync’ed. If user expands or collapses one property or category, other grid must do the same. If user scrolls, other must scroll too. It is possible with your component?”. The answer is yes with SPG 3.0.1 and I have made a screencast to show you the result:
