There is no documentation and no samples

The best, there is nothing else to say. If you want to deal with a company where an email is returned answering your question within 10 minutes this is the place. These controls are the best.

Thank you very much for the review. Customer support is a strong focus for me and I am glad to see that it is appreciated.

Great set of products, I purchased the extensions mainly for the SSRS extension. The customer support is second to none. Keep up the good work.

If you are looking for a Lightswitch extension that will allow you to easily use reports from SSRS, look no farther than here. Spursoft was one of the first extensions that I found and is still the one I find most useful! And Derek's expanding library continues to impress. Don't hesitate to contact him if you need some support. He is lightning fast and thorough. On all levels, a great extension.

Originally I purchased the Extensions to be able to add a logo the the ribbon with the shell estension. I was able to quickly and easily add my company's logo to the form(s) and was able to ship a professional looking application thanks to Dereck. After getting the logo taken care of I was able to explore the rest of the extensions and was very impressed with the simplicity of adding an SSRS report to an application. The horizontal and vertical splitters were a very nice addition to the form layout. The grid with multi-select was easy to implement and program. Support was incredibly prompt when I had a question. This is a good collection of extensions and well worth the price.

Great set of tools especially for the price. Have seen these controls mentioned in many Lightswitch forum posts and they have been recommended by many of the top contributors in LS community so decided to give them a whirl. So far have not been disappointed and am now looking for more ways to integrate into my existing LS applications.

Also, the support is fantastic with prompt email responses and Derek even took the time to go through over the phone/web meeting on some more advanced things I was trying to implement. Outstanding personal service!!!

Excellent product. I started with one of the early versions (free) and have since ponied up the money for the real release. It is definitely worth the small price and more. The added themes and other features make it a really good deal. The after sale support, to answer my questions was worth the price alone.

I'm looking forward to anything else Spursoft offers.

I appreciate that (check is in the mail :))

Solid set of extensions. I purchased this primarily for the web browser control, but the other features are potentially very handy. Good support via email.

Thank you for your review I really appreciate it, and by the way I am still working on the message box problem you were having.

Update --
Done

by Steve Edwards - MSFT | November 09 2011

Great set of extensions. I purchased this for the WebBrowser control and the Menu navigation shell. These have worked flawlessly for my application and make the UI stand out.

I also would like to comment on the great support. I had a question on how to implement a feature and Derek responded to my email within minutes with the exact information I needed. Thank you so much!

      Hello Derek
Is there a way how to include the Report into your SSRSViewer Control?
(rather than a popup window)?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Alex

    HTML Client?

      Do these extensions work with the HTML Client?  (I am specifically looking for the data grid.)
    • Written May 06, 2013 
      I would think not as they are based in silverlight.  I have not had a chance to really look.

    Any Documentation?

      I have bought this set , but struggling with getting it to work "out of the box" . Is there ANY documentation or samples or examples for this? Specifically the SSRS Viewer (i.e. the properties are definitely not very clear and i am stuck doing trial and error'ing to get a report to display and failing).
    • Written June 15, 2012 
      (Also mails to support@spursoft.com / information@spursoft.com are failing, might want to look into that).

      I can ditto both comments here ..... but probably more in need of help 

HELP .... tutorialS?  Really basic stuff for businessman trying to use lightswitch for what it says its all about.  THe Extension looks awesome, but I can't get anything started.

      I am very sorry for not responding to these posts sooner.  For some reason I did not recieve an email about these posts.

@Beginner4Sure -- have we been able to speak via email since this post?  I believe your situation sounds familiar.

@cmgrundling -- I am guessing that you are referring to the email addresses found on my contact page from my web site.  Thank you for reminding me about that, it has now been fixed.  As for the SSRS Viewer questions there are no tutorials partially because I have not actually had the time and partially becuase of the myriad ways you can set up Reporting Services.  I would be more than happy to either set up a screen sharing session or discuss this on the phone or email to get a feel for your exact setup i.e. inernet hosted, intranet, azure / Server versus local reports / Security requirements etc.

I hope this response is not too late and again I apologize.

Derek

      Any plans for visual studio 2012? Love the idea of the report viewer but want to use the odata provider in v2.

Thanks

      MrPhilbert,

I currently have versions for BETA 2012 available for my customers.  There are at least 10 of them I know of who have been brave enough to try VS 2012 :).
    • Written June 25, 2012 
      Derek,

Great extensions!  I purchased your extensions and controls and would like to install in VS 2012.  How To?

Thanks,
Josh
    • Written June 27, 2012 
      Josh, I believe I sent you a link to download the VS2012 beta versions.  I will contact you via email to confirm.

      Do you have an example of how to use the PDF Viewer Control ?
    • Written February 17, 2012 
      Actually the PDF Viewer is being removed.  The viewing of PDF's is handled by the SpursoftWebBrowser Control.

      I will check with the service that distributes it.  Meanwhile if you send me an email with the corrected email I will do my best to make sure you get an email reminding you of the update email :).

      Still waiting on the correct email to send your updates to.

      Hi
Yann Duran recommended your extension and he's been a great source of advice.
However, I would like to trial first if that's possible.
Thanks, Mark.

      I am sorry but to keep development costs down I do not offer a trial version.  If you wish you can contact me directly and ask me any presales questions you wish.
