Updates in this release

Updates in v2011 vol 1

Consistent Rendering for Default Web Page Doctypes - Default document types used by Microsoft Web development tools are as follows:

• XHTML 1.0 Strict is used in Visual Studio 2010, SharePoint 2010, ASP.NET MVC 2
• HTML5 is used in ASP.NET MVC 3.

To conform to these changes, DevExpress have improved the rendering of their controls so that they look and behave properly and uniformly within web pages using one of the following document types:

• XHTML 1.0 Transitional
• XHTML 1.0 Strict
• HTML5

Note that code generated by DevExpress ASP.NET controls is designed to fully comply with the XHTML 1.0 Transitional specification. In the other supported document types, the code works well but may not fully pass markup validation. Support for new doctypes applies across browsers, so the web controls appear and work identically under all supported browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0+, Mozilla FireFox 2.0+, Google Chrome 1.0+, Apple Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.0+ and Netscape Navigator 9.0+.
