What's New
TX Text Control .NET for Windows Forms 34.0, released in November 2025, is the current major version, and Service Pack 5, released on September 14, 2026, is its latest update. For each major version back to 30.0, you find what it added, which service packs followed, which changes need work in an upgrade and which members will be removed. The versions from 29.0 back to 10.1 have pages of their own under Older Versions. Start here if you upgrade an application, or if you want to know whether a feature exists in the version you use.

TX Text Control ActiveX shares these numbers too, but has no version 33.0. Between the major versions, service packs bring fixes and, in some cases, changes that matter for your project.

Where to Start
- Upgrading to a new major version? Read Breaking Changes for every version between yours and the target, then the pages of the versions you skip, for the features you gain.
- Staying on your major version? Install its latest service pack; Service Packs lists them. Text Control recommends updating to the latest one.
- Maintaining older code? Check it against Deprecated APIs and replace the obsolete members it uses.
The Upgrade Guide takes you through the upgrade itself: the setup, the NuGet package, the license and the changes to your code.
