AJAX Control Toolkit Release Notes - May 2009 Release

New controls
This release includes three important new controls:

• HTMLEditor
  

  The HTMLEditor control allows you to easily create and edit HTML content. You can edit in design mode, as a rich text editor, or in source view to edit the HTML markup directly.
  Many thanks to by Obout http://www.obout.com/ for building this

• ComboBox
  

  The ComboBox control provides a DropDownList of items, combined with TextBox. Different modes determine the interplay between the text entry and the list of items.
  Many thanks to Dan Ludwig for building this.

• ColorPicker
  

  The ColorPicker Control Extender can be attached to any ASP.NET TextBox control. It provides client-side color-picking functionality with UI in a popup control.
  Many thanks to Alexander Turlov for building this.

Community effort

More than twenty important bug fixes have been made in this release, across many controls, corresponding to some of the most requested fixes.We would like to specially thank all the patch contributors from the Toolkit community whose fixes helped make this release possible. We recognize their names on the Toolkit Patch Hall of Fame.

New tutorials have been created, with improved integration in the ASP.NET AJAX Web site.

The TemplateVSI project has been removed. See the new tutorial: Creating a New Extender for information on how to create an Extender, without needing a Visual Studio Extender project template.
