  On the WPF front - dbiCalendar    
     
   We're down to the short list.  
   We’ve alluded to features and component capabilities not seen before.  What we’re talking about is a new three-view WPF Control providing developers with a Month Calendar view, a Week View and a Multi-Column Day view (Outlook appointment scheduler) all in one control.  
     
  What's really new … Appointments in DBi’s WPF Calendar control have been extended to handle collections of:
a) Contacts
b) Locations, and
c) Tasks
 
     
  We’ve made creating appointments really easy:
a) Highlight an area in the schedule and start typing.
b) Click an “Add Appointment” promptdbiCalendar for WPF
c) or, Call an appointment dialogue

Variable time scale – set appointment Intervals from 1 to 60 minutes
Define Custom Areas / Dead-zones
We’ve added Context Menus
Drag-n-drop
 
Grouping and Sorting by –
a) Appointments
b) Contacts
c) Locations
d) Tasks
 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  More release news to follow soon.  
     
  ==========================================

  Tech Tip  – Databinding .NET Scheduling Controls   
     
 
The Warehouse Shipments Scheduling Framework (dbiWSF) is an encompassing product. The origins of this framework product evolved from a databinding exercise in relation to Solutions Schedule for .NET and Studio Controls for .NET. One of the most frequent questions that we receive is "which is the best method to bind the dbiSchedule control and the dbiDayView control to a database and what is the best structure for doing so?"  click here to see more...

  ==========================================    
  Text Mining using Keyword and Keyphrase Extraction    
       
  Great examples of using the Extractor Technology can be found in Text Mining and information retrieval and document management systems. When filtering documents for entry in to enterprise management systems, first understanding what an actual document is about, in searchable terms, is a challenge. Relying on a brief, human generated synopsis can be a losing proposition as important details are quite often overlooked. A more difficult situation is found with existing documents and unstructured content already in a system that haven't been adequately tagged.  
 
Unleashing Extractor on these types of challenges assures administrators quick and accurate key word / key phrase list summaries with minimal overhead. Incorporating Extractor can be as straightforward as consuming a webservice or as customized as engaging the full software development kit (SDK).
