Autocomplete

A little while ago, I received an email from Palo Mraz offering me a free license for his Dynamic Autocomplete .NET Component, to be used in SharpReader. Having given it a spin, I have to say I'm very impressed. Usage of this component is a snap: you just drop it on your form and all your existing TextBoxes become automagically autocomplete-enabled, meaning they now show a dropdown of past entries for the user to choose from at runtime. They will also get a number of extra properties in VS.NET's property-grid to customize the autocomplete behavior - very nice indeed. To get more info, check out these tutorials.

Using this component, dynamic autocomplete will be one of the new features of the next SharpReader release. Thanks Palo!

I have to say that seeing components like this makes me realize that there are most likely a lot of other commercial components out there that may be useful for SharpReader as well. If anybody has any suggestions of useful winforms components at a reasonable pricepoint, please let me know.

Does this mean that there're no more plans to make SR Open Source?

Some SharpReader Suggestions

I've added some clarifications to my request for a full text search capability in SharpReader back in my blog. You can read them here.

SharpReader is really a top notch tool. Hopefully, you find these suggestions valuable.

Cheers

Is this the only place to discuss all things #R? I've found some helpful comments that have nothing to do with the blog entries under which they're posted. Isn't there a more general forum or something?

Anyway, thought this tip was good. Why isn't the URL field editable in the feed properties? I wouldn't say feed URLs are *bound* to change, but it's certainly possible. Happened with PHP Everywhere just in the last week or two. Sometimes when I'm working on a feed of my own I'll change my mind about what I should call it.

A little thing.

I bought a license to the Infragistic user interface package and that's really quite nice. If you've got a high speed connection you can download an evaluation version of it to give it a whirl. It's built on a design of having a presentation layer and theming etc. are very easy to do.

Is there any system to have a refresh rate more frequent then 10 minutes?
