Active Query Builder .NET Edition 1.3 released

We're glad to announce the new minor version of Active Query Builder .NET Edition. You can download the free version or request trial at the download page.

What's new in the Active Query Builder .NET Edition 1.3?

• End-user Interface Improvements
• Improved usability of building GROUP BY/HAVING clauses with the new criteria list grouping style. Old style is available through the CriteriaListOptions.UseMSStyleGrouping property.
• Ability to customize or hide context menus using the ValidateContextMenu event is added.
• The new AutoSizeCriteriaListColumns property allows you to set width of criteria list columns automatically after the query parsing.
• SQL Parsing Improvements
• Sybase Syntax and Metadata providers are added. ^*
• Ability to convert queries between dialects is implemented. ^*
• The new ParsingErrorOnUnknownObjects property instructs query builder to throw an exception in case of existense of unknown objects in the query (objects that are not listed in the Metadata container).
• Fixed minor problems with constants in the DB2 syntax. ^*
• Other Improvements and Bugfixes
• The new QueryBuilder.CriteriaListOptions property is implemented to group all the criteria list related options in one place.
  PLEASE NOTE that some properties have been moved from QueryBuilder so you may need to correct your source code.
• Now the properties MetadataTreeOptions.TablesNodeText, MetadataTreeOptions.TablesNodeText, MetadataTreeOptions.ViewsNodeText are applied to the Add Object form either.
• Several minor bugs are fixed.

Note for those who analyze the query data programmatically: numerous changes in the CriteriaItem class. (Please see the updated Non-visual demo sample for details)

^* - these features will be available in the Standard version of Active Query Builder only.
