MORRISVILLE, NC — February 3, 2005 — FarPoint Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of professional components, announces the immediate availability of a significant upgrade of its Spread for Web Forms product. FarPoint continues its lead in the market of advanced .NET controls by providing several features that customers have requested. Spread for Web Forms version 2 adds cross-sheet referencing for formulas, more built-in functions, and a range of other new features including new cell types and ways to further customize the interface. This new version delivers important data management and display features to keep application development competitive.
The latest Spread products now have the ability to
reference cells across multiple sheets.
“We know that with growing amounts of data, multiple-sheet features are now a
necessity”, remarks outside sales manager, Chris Wynne of FarPoint. “The Spread
for Web Forms version 2 product demonstrates our leadership in the management
and display of data with the spreadsheet capabilities you have come to expect
from FarPoint.” The Web Forms product now allows automatic merging of cells
with identical content, similar to what was already available in the Windows
Forms product. This version also now supports over 300 built-in functions for
formulas and adds a Percent cell to the list of customizable cell types. For
those who export and import large amounts of data from Excel files, the latest
testing demonstrates that Spread delivers increased performance in importing
and exporting data to and from Excel. The release of version 2 of the Spread
for .NET products brings a whole new level of capability for managing and
displaying data. For more details, see the feature list on the Web site where a
