ProgramPartner ApS is proud to present SCRAMBLECODE. It is a new security-oriented programming language, which compiles the source code into private protected instructions. When these encrypted instructions are executed, they can work with encrypted variables in memory.
It is available now at https://www.scramblecode.com
Encrypted Compilation and Execution
The SCRAMBLECODE technology can secure confidential code against cracking:
Intellectual property protection:
The compiler will target an instruction set, which can be custom created for each project. The compilation eliminates all meta-data and runtime information, and it encrypts every opcode and operand individually to the core.
Anti-tampering measures:
The compiled instructions are intertwined, bundled and encrypted on multiple levels to ensure, that cracking just one instruction will invalidate lots (perhaps thousands) of others. The encrypted code is also sealed using an RSA signature.
Secure execution:
When the compiled code is launched for execution, an in-memory virtual machine loads the unique instructions while keeping vital encryption layers intact. At no point can multiple instructions be scraped from memory. When an instruction is executed, the operands are not necessarily decrypted - e.g. when pushing encrypted content onto the stack.
Memory encryption:
While executing, the instructions work with encrypted variables in memory. The location and encryption of a given item may differ on each execution. Many instructions like push, pop, move etc. can operate without having to decrypt the items. If an operation requires a decrypted value, it is short-lived and quickly erased from memory.
Working With C++, C#, Python etc.
SCRAMBLECODE is designed to be used together with other programming languages. Typically it is only used for a small confidential part of the source code. The rest can be programmed in another language.
The documentation includes a simple C# class to exemplify, how to work with a .NET solution. The presented C# code can also serve as a guide when using another programming language.
Develop and Deploy
SCRAMBLECODE includes an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with all the necessary tools built in. It allows the developer to edit the code, start the compiler, open the test window to execute the code, and finally open the debugger window to trace everything in detail. This is demonstrated by the Quick Start Tutorial.
The generated binaries are self-contained and do not require .NET or other libraries. They can be xcopy deployed royalty free.

(Bochum, Germany, March 3, 2017) – Soft Xpansion has launched a new version of its CAD Xpansion SDK for software developers of CAD, CAM, PDM and CAE applications: Previous versions of the SDK could be used to export STL, STEP and IGES files for a universal data exchange. The new version of the developer tool is additionally able to import 3D models and offers geometry recognition.
STL is often described as the established de-facto standard format for 3D printing. STEP is an international standard, defined in ISO 10303, for the description and exchange of product data in CAD solutions. IGES is also a data format for data exchange between different CAD systems. Applications that support these formats provide the users with a high flexibility during their work with 3D models that have been created in different original (source) applications.
The CAD Xpansion SDK provides a large number of program functions for the design of machine elements and assemblies in mechanical design, building construction, etc. It is also possible to create assemblies based on separate elements.
New: Imoport & Geometry Recognition
- Import of any 3D CAD model from files in STEP, IGES, STL formats
- Display of the loaded model and basic visual operations like zoom, rotation, selection of model objects, delete objects, etc.
- Recognition of the geometry of 3D shaft models in mechanical design according to the German DIN 743
- Recognition of the shaft elements independent of DIN 743, determination of the general geometric properties
- Recognition of other part models in mechanical design while the library is developed further and is enhanced
Export of 3D-Models
- Creation of various 3D models in mechanical design and building units: basic geometric objects, shaft elements, pinions, bearings, bolts, screw-nuts, beams, etc. Full list of units currently supported can be seen in the CAD Xpansion SDK Guide & Reference document
- Export of created 3D models to the universal formats STL, STEP, IGES
- Creation and export of complex units using operations like transformation, subtraction, unification, intersection, etc.

Introducing New Volume Rendering Feature and Licensing Structure
Arction Ltd., a manufacturer of the fastest data visualization components for .Net, announces the new version 8 release of its GPU-accelerated charting library LightningChart on March 7th, 2017.
Volume Rendering
The core breakthrough of the version 8 is a high-performance Volume Rendering extension which can interact with other 3D objects in LightningChart.

Black Falcon Software is proud to announce its release of SQL Server Source Control for Developers 2.1.1…
This release is a major upgrade to its current product, which was at version 1.0.3. The reason for the large skip in version numbers is that an interim 1.1.1 release had been planned but it was thought better to combine all of the modifications and new features into a single release.
This latest version has a brand new interface style, which will bring it more in line with current expectations by users.
A new usage statistics form has been added that allows users to view the used space in their defined repositories.
An new email form has also been added that will allow users to contact Black Falcon Software directly from within the application.
A new utility has also been added that allows users to clear dangling data when a database connection has been deleted. This dangling data was a result of the application not clearing all of the repositories with data associated with the deleted connection. Since this “bug” was internalized by the fact that without the deleted database connection information, the associated data could never be viewed, it resulted merely in the data using up space than being any type of issue. Running this utility once will rectify this issue without disrupting any data associated with existing, active data.
Many modifications have also been made to this product and are currently listed on the home-page of Black Falcon Software’s web-site.
If you are an employee, consultant, or freelancer who requires source control for your SQL Server database object scripts because your place of work does not have such a capacity or you just would like to have your own individualized form of such source control, which is similar in nature to the Mercurial private source control system, go to Black Falcon Software’s web-site and download a freely available 30-day trail version. Licensing is very affordable and allows for installation on 5 different machines.
A tremendous amount of effort has gone into this latest release so it is hoped that everyone who tries it will enjoy working with it.
Database access has been tested up through SQL Server 2014 and should be compatible with all previous versions of this popular database engine.
In addition, this release has also been successfully tested against Windows 10.
The next, expected release (2.1.2) will have the capability to access the newly released SQL Server 2016 database engine.

With version 22 of the report generator for software developers, which has been undergoing constant development for the past 25 years, combit once again presents well-thought-out upgrades and useful features. The software manufacturer from Konstanz/Germany not only considered the needs of developers, but also of the users of the List & Label Report Designer. For example, when creating reports in the Designer, users will benefit from being able to keep groups/data together in tables. Favorites for properties provide a better overview, and animation options in the preview make additional presentation programs such as MS PowerPoint superfluous. The new features have also made crosstabs more comprehensive. Multiple result cells and cross-references give users the freedom to calculate everything that’s important. Drop-down areas and the automatic fill-up of missing data ranges provide a clearer overview and make data analysis easier. In addition to the new radar and treemap charts, most other charts can also be sorted according to the result value.
.NET developers will receive a wide range of new possibilities thanks to a virtual file system (repository). This means that web-based projects will get drill-down support, project templates, a table of contents, and an index. And because it is stream-based, desktop/server applications also benefit from this. The new WPF wrapper for the preview brings a number of new interactive features to WPF applications.
“List & Label 22 is the first version for which we are offering long-term support (LTS). Customers with an Enterprise Edition will now receive more comprehensive support until the next LTS version is released in approximately 2 years,” said Jochen Bartlau, Managing Director and Head of Development List & Label, explaining the extended support. “In particular, customers with larger projects and longer release cycles are set to benefit from this,” Bartlau added.
All the details for the new version can be found online at:
https://www.combit.net/en/reporting-tool/report-generator-list-label-new-version/
FEATURE DETAILS
Radar Chart
The radar chart is ideal for visualizing relationships between different categories. Lines or areas can be used, either single or stacked. Hidden areas can be shown by displaying an outline.
Treemap
Treemaps show hierarchical data in the form of (also recursively) nested rectangles. The areas indicate size/quantity ratios and are proportional to the corresponding value. Drill-down reports via report parameters are also possible.
Chart Layout
The line type can be configured for coordinate lines (horizontal and vertical). Symbols in the chart can now optionally be assigned by the users themselves.
Sort Charts by Value
In addition to the current alphanumeric sorting method for the data series/category axis, the chart can now also be sorted according to the result value. Users benefit from the clearer presentation.
Top-N and ‘Others’ in Most Charts
Users can limit the data of a chart with Top-N to highlight important information. Data that does not correspond to the Top-N parameters will be aggregated under ‘Others’.
New Features in Crosstabs
The following new features in crosstabs provide expanded usage options:
- Multiple result cells: LL22 allows for multiple result cells. Sums can therefore be directly compared.
- Cross-references: The contents of other cells can be shown with different calculations, for example displaying a percentage or the difference between base values. This means less additional calculations for users.
- Expandable regions: If only the currently required data ranges are shown, users can analyze the data significantly faster and more easily.
- Automatic fill-in: This feature makes it easier to perform comparisons when data is missing from areas being compared.
- Top-N ‘Others’: After the Top-N entries, reports also optionally show the ‘Others’ values of the category as a sum. This makes it easier to classify the top entries according to their significance.
Virtual File System (Repository)
The new virtual file system removes crucial restrictions that previously existed for web-based projects. With the repository, more options are available in the Web Designer, and its range of features now more closely resembles that of the classic Desktop Designer. Among other things, project templates, drill-down support, tables of contents, and indexes are now available here too.
WPF Wrapper for Preview
A new control brings several new features to WPF applications: Displaying of pages created while printing, drill-down, interactive sorting, report parameters, and expandable regions.
Long-term Support (LTS)
For the Enterprise Edition, long-term support is available from LL22 onwards. combit supports versions with an even version number (22, 24, …) for approximately two years, until a new LTS version is released. This means developers with longer release cycles receive comprehensive support for even longer than before.
Favorites for Properties
The List & Label Designer offers a wide range of configuration options. Developers who require concise and clearly-laid out property windows for their users enable this feature for their customers with favorites.
Animations
Instead of having to use PowerPoint or other presentation tools, users can simply animate report objects individually in the preview. This makes the creation of presentations more efficient.
Keep groups/data together
In order to avoid the undesirable separation of data in tables due to page breaks, there is now a new, configurable Designer feature. Available for .NET and C++ with data provider.
Barcodes
MicroPDF417 and Codablock F expand the range of barcodes in LL22. GS1 Application Identifiers are fully supported. A new Designer feature allows for the calculation of checksums with any weighting.
Debwin4
Debug output can now also be logged quickly and easily for web applications and services, regardless of the process or its user context.
Logging Interface
With the new logging interface, developers can integrate the logging output into the existing logging of their own application for optimal analysis or use proven logging frameworks such as log4net or NLog.
LIST & LABEL PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Thousands of development teams and millions of end users worldwide trust in the award winning List & Label report generator. With List & Label software developers extend their applications with powerful reporting functions and have access to every kind of data processing and data exchange, in classic applications as well as in web reporting or in the cloud. List & Label is available in three editions. Prices for the Standard Edition starting at EUR 650 / US$ 691. The subscription editions are available from EUR 1200 / US$ 1276, each excluding VAT (Exchange rate as of 11/22/2016).

The industry spreadsheet leader adds new data visualization and presentation controls for the web and usability enhancements for all platforms.
Raleigh, NC - November 17, 2016 - GrapeCity, a leading provider of data visualization, analysis, spreadsheets, and reporting components, announced a major update to their spreadsheet collection, Spread Studio v10 and a new offering for JavaScript developers, SpreadJS.
While Spread is traditionally known for .NET technology, GrapeCity now provides a new JavaScript spreadsheet and data presentation solution for enterprise JavaScript developers, SpreadJS. SpreadJS includes Spread.Sheets, for complete spreadsheet functionality, and Spread.Views, a next-generation data presentation and layout engine.
This release of SpreadJS introduces an entirely new way for JavaScript developers to present their data using the new Spread.Views. Spread.Views go beyond traditional tabular display by including a variety of views that the developer can choose from, such as tree, card, masonry, trellis, timeline, news feed, Gantt, calendar, and grid. Use Spread.Views layouts for analysis, performance monitoring, data reporting, dashboards, product catalogs, ecommerce, news feeds, project management applications, and much more. Spread.Sheets also includes many new enhancements such as Client-side Excel IO, cross-platform designers that work in Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and major performance enhancements that make it one of the fastest spreadsheets on the market. "Features such as these set SpreadJS apart from any other product of its kind," commented Donald Williamson. "SpreadJS is so more than a Spreadsheet. You need to experience it to fully appreciate it."
All components in Spread Studio v10 work with Windows 10, Visual Studio 2015, and Excel 2016.

Quote: PITTSBURGH, PA – November 17, 2016 - GrapeCity, the largest component solution provider in the Microsoft Visual Studio Partner Ecosystem and Visual Studio 2017 RC Extension Sim-Ship Partner, today announced the 2016 v3 release of its world-renowned Ultimate offering which bundles the time-saving data and UI controls from ComponentOne Studio, Wijmo, and Xuni together for developers building future-proof web, desktop, and mobile business applications.
In this release the company’s JavaScript control collection now includes support for ReactJS and VueJS. Add to this the company’s existing support for Angular2, AngularJS, and Knockout and it presents the most comprehensive interop story in the market. “Developers who need to maintain apps in Angular 1 and 2, while developing new ones in React or Vue, are able to use the exact same components/controls—Wijmo supports them all, with no dependencies,” said Chris Bannon, global product manager at GrapeCity.
The final installment of the three releases in 2016, Ultimate v3 introduces FinancialChart in WinForms, Universal Windows Platform, and Windows Presentation Foundation; a new JavaScript ReportViewer; and is now shipping source code with the company’s FlexReport Designer app. The new controls and added functionality empowers every developer to build the most complete and modern applications for any platform, any device with less coding.
“From being the first control vendor to deliver production ready controls fully supporting Angular 2, to offering developers migration paths from Silverlight and LightSwitch, to embracing new open-source and cross-platform frameworks in order to deliver timely solutions to developers, our focus has been customer-driven development,” said Bannon. “With this customer-driven approach, developers are benefiting from the constant product improvements end-to-end, which further strengthens the success of Ultimate’s developer tools.”
When creating reports for WinForms, WPF, and UWP, the company’s FlexReport Designer offers a code-free option for migrating or building modern .NET apps with design-time and data source editors. Now that the source code is available for FlexReport, users can take code snippets and embed the Designer within their application without running an executable, and in addition may further customize it to meet their needs.
Today’s release builds upon Ultimate’s intuitive, universal API, which is the heart of the product when it comes to powerful data visualization features, built-in interactivity, and customization. The product has been further enhanced in this release with the addition of FinancialChart for WinForms, WPF, and UWP, which offers an all-in-one financial chart control for stock dashboards.
“With developers everywhere being tasked with delivering fast, feature-complete applications in less time, the need for flexible UI controls is increasing and GrapeCity is in the position to provide the developer community exactly what they need to accomplish their projects,” said Bannon. “We are developers ourselves and we are looking to help other developers solve some of the same problems we experience, which frees up time that can be directed towards business logic.”
Additions to the Flex Core controls in the 2016 v3 release include: FlexViewer for MVC, an HTML5 based report viewer that offers full print support and offers a rich viewer feature set such as search, zoom, and document map. For developers looking to display multivariate observations and chart performance metrics, FlexChart’s Polar and Radar charts provide various chart types for creating circular and weather charts. Other developers who may want to expand their charting possibilities with Sunburst charts within FlexChart, will be able to plot hierarchical data in an enhanced pie chart with animation features and data binding.
The company offers a no-charge, 30-day trial of Ultimate, which may be downloaded at http://www.componentone.com/ultimate. Online visitors may also access tutorials, forums, documentation, and videos as part of the GrapeCity experience.

General Overview
Kueri is a software SDK library that enables the integration of a simple to use search-box that enables end-users to enter Natural Language questions and then converts those questions in properly formatted database queries such as SQL or JSON.
The basic user experience includes as-you-type real-time suggestions that help the end users in the construction of their questions. The suggestions are base on the connected database structure, parts of the database's values and content, and the user's question history.
Kueri is not a drag-and-drop solution (like a JAR or DLL you would add to your project), but rather a deployed solution - a server that provides an API via XML-RPC protocol.
The Kueri download pack contains the server engine itself, the Kueri Admin interface, and a simple demo page which provides examples for embedding the search box. Kueri Admin is used to configure connections to databases, the semantic mapping, indexing, test the system, and many more.
In order to make proper use of the SDK, you first have to install Kueri Server, connect and configure your data source in the Kueri Admin, and finally integrate with the API.
Kueri Search-Box
The Kueri search-box allows users to ask questions using natural language in order to interact with data.
There are two modes to the search-box:
The Free Mode
The Guided Mode.
The Free Mode is more convenient as the user is capable of typing any input in English, and Kueri makes an attempt to understand the meaning behind the input and generate the relevant Run query. When it be calculated, The Run query is displayed in italic grey just beneath the input box. This Run query can be efficiently converted into a SQL query on the database.
Here, the Run query is seen in grey underneath the search-box.
The Guided mode allows you to directly create a Run query, but there the user must follow a strict sequence of elements when creating a question.
For example, you can see that although the input contains the word "by", the Guided Mode sentence includes the words "grouped by" below.
Embedding Kueri in your website
The Kueri package comes ready with several HTML samples which are configured to run against your Kueri server.
Basically, the search-box complete with look-ahead suggestions is already implemented in a single JavaScript library, which can also take care of visualization of the results.
Simply take from the supplied samples the relevant parts you require and integrate into your host solution and finish up bu making the necessary few configuration modifications.
Inside the Kueri SDK downloadable package there are several demo pages, prepared for the most common use cases.
demo_ textbox_sql - Shows simple input box, with conversion to SQL.
demo_suggestbox_sql - A page that embeds the search box, and merely displays the SQL. This is a simple demo page for testing.
demo_anonymous - This page is used when authentication is unwarranted.
This demo also provides visualization of the results in a table using the Knockout framework.
Note that the data source should allow anonymous access via API, otherwise Kueri will require authentication.
demo_with_login - This page includes a page for user authentication before asking questions.
See Users section to manage users inside the Kueri Admin.

MindFusion WinForms chart control has been completely redesigned and developed from scratch to achieve a lean software architecture, greatly improved performance and a huge number of new features.
Brand new data model
Data that should be drawn in charts is read through an interface called Series, whose instances can be assigned to the Series properties of Chart and SeriesRenderer classes. Developers can implement this interface in their own model classes to avoid duplicating data. The library includes several pre-defined series classes that can be used to specify data via IList or array objects.
New rendering model
Chart graphics are drawn inside Plot components by SeriesRenderer-derived objects. Each plot can contain multiple series renderers from same or different types. For example area, line and bar graphics can be drawn in the same plot by adding AreaRenderer, LineRenderer and BarRenderer objects to its SeriesRenderers collection. Chart controls automatically generate a series renderer of appropriate type for their Series.
Dashboard
The newly added Dashboard control can contain multiple plots, axes, legends, images, gauges and text blocks arranged in dynamic layout. Individual components can be added to dashboard’s default RootPanel or LayoutPanel containers, or for more complex layouts add intermediary panels such as GridPanel and StackPanel to the default ones. To show different types of chart graphics, developers can add Plot2D to draw in 2D Cartesian coordinate system, Plot3D for 3D Cartesian system, and PolarPlot for polar coordinate system. To draw horizontal or vertical axes, the objects to add are respectively XAxisRenderer and YAxisRenderer. To show gauges, developers should add LinearGaugeRenderer or OvalGaugeRenderer, whose Gauge property contains the gauge model definition.
Print and export
The Dashboard control and Chart controls that derive from it expose Print and PrintPreview methods for printing on paper. The ExportImage and CreateImage methods generate bitmap image of the dashboard. The ExportPdf method exports the chart to a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. The ExportSvg method exports the chart to an SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) file.
Styling
Values of appearance properties can come from several places in the component hierarchy. SeriesRenderer-derived objects can use attributes from their local SeriesStyle, from plot’s SeriesStyle, or from the *Series properties in current Theme. Component classes use either their local properties or ones defined in a theme. By default, appearance properties in SeriesRenderer and Component classes have null values, which makes the drawing code use values from the theme.

LightningChart has been able to achieve BILLION (1,000,000,000) data points scrolling line plot that no other WPF or WinForms charting component has ever been able to.
Groundbreaking performance
By intelligently utilizing continuously evolving gaming technologies, graphics cards features and processing power, LightningChart was able to achieve BILLION (1,000,000,000) data points scrolling line plot. In previous benchmarking tests (2013) smooth line streaming with high data point counts LightningChart was able to set a new record of 20 million (20,000,000) data points. This was unique then, but 2016 LightningChart set the standards in this industry at a totally new level and achieved scrolling line plot of BILLION (1,000,000,000) data points. This has not been achieved by any other WPF or WinForms charting component. LightningChart real-time optimized series, and can efficiently visualize real-time data feeds no other WPF or WinForms charting component can.
To improve performance, some charts use data resampling/downsampling. Resampling loses data details as majority of the data points are skipped or visualized inaccurately. LightningChart's groundbreaking efficiency enables real-time rendering without having to use these kinds of tricks.
Background: The LightningChart
LightningChart is an add-on to Microsoft Visual Studio, a data visualization toolkit.
Arction was the first manufacturer to introduce real DirectX 2D rendering for WinForms charting industry in 2009. Arction was also the first manufacturer to introduce real hardware acceleration with DirectX for WPF charting industry in 2013, with low level DirectX rendering for 2D and 3D charts.
LightningChart's is especially designed for very demanding scientific, financial and engineering applications. By having lots of different visualization types, rich feature sets, configurability, touch screen interactivity, superb rendering quality and new volume rendering technology, Arction claims LightningChart to be not just the fastest, but also the most advanced charting toolkit in the industry.
Technical setup of breaking the record
LightningChart WPF v.7.1 preliminary release was used, in a Visual Studio WPF C# project.
Periodically, selected count of data points are appended in the tail of each series, by using a timer. When the chart gets full (reaches right edge), the chart starts to scroll the view.
LightningChart's fixed-interval series type was used, with 32-bit floating point accuracy to save memory. Line was set to rounded-joint style, 2 pixels wide, anti-aliased line. Coloring effect by Y value was applied, to colorize the lines with alarm limits; blue for low levels, red for high levels.
With default setup, there's 10 series, and X axis length is 100,000,000 points. That is total 1,000,000,000 points.
Computer specification used in the record:
- Intel i7 4770 3.4 GHz CPU
- NVidia GTX 960 graphics card
- 16 GB RAM
- Windows 7 (64-bit) operating system
Background: Arction Ltd
Arction manufactures and licenses data-visualization software components for Microsoft Visual Studio, and provides data visualization related consulting services.
