DXperience 7.3.5 released on 13 Dec 2007 and What'a New

What's Included & New .NET Product Line - v7.3.5

Release Notes

This DXperience update introduces an important behavior change in the ASPxPivotGrid suite:

• When an ASPxPivotGrid contains some fields with an empty ID property value, while other fields have the ID property assigned to a certain value, these fields will be reordered when deserializaing from a file, which was created using prior versions of ASPxPivotGrid.
