Essential Studio for Windows Forms Release Notes

v26.1.35
June 11, 2024

Common

Features

Smart tag support in .NET 6 and above

We have expanded smart tag support to include controls in .NET 6 and higher, previously available only in .NET Framework. This update streamlines the design process by providing quick access to common tasks and settings right within the designer.

To enable this functionality, we have included the WinForms Designer SDK as a dependency in our control NuGet packages.

For details about which specific packages contain the SDK reference, please refer to the Package Details Page.
