Lithium

Since the Lithium article was on April 1st (no, it wasn’t an April joke) the article was read over 30.000 times and was highly rated by the CodeProject readers. Makes me quite happy, especially since it took me really a long time to write and re-write it.

Since it got published I got mainly one big request: scrolling of the canvas for large trees. Being busy with the new release of the Netron library I haven’t had much time to focus on Lithium lately but I promise I will as soon as version 2.2 is out. I wonder what people are using Lithium for? I keep on asking everyone to send me screenshots but very little ends up in my mailbox…too bad, I enjoy seeing other people’s work and ideas. But I understand, as a developer you wanna have your application working and feedback is usually not in the list. Or maybe people are too shy, humble, don’t know.

I have, while updating this site, uploaded the latest version of the Lithium library on Sourceforge, see this page for the download link. The version 3.3.2023 is actually quite old and was an enjoyable collaboration with Howard. Unfortunately we both got busy and haven’t finished the debugger visualizer for Visual Studio 2005. Hopefully we’ll manage to meet again soon. Anyway, have a look at the download it’s really a pretty thing and you’ll for sure recognize the influence of XML Spy .
