The entire library is globalized, supporting multiple numeric formats and cultures, and includes design-time type converters to add support for Windows Forms designers. Most classes also support conversion of values to and from string values. For example, the Position class can output values in a specific format and parse formatted values back into an object. This project has no dependency on specific UI platforms, allowing it to be used in both GDI+ and WPF applications.

This is the second major release of the framework. This version eliminates GDI+ dependencies such as System.Drawing to enable the framework to be compatible with newer Windows Presentation Foundation applications. Unlike version 1.0, this version does not support Visual Studio 2003, but (as a result) supports newer .NET features such as generics. Some types such as Position were changed from classes to structures to improve performance. Lastly, a lot of the code was cleaned up and analyzed with the help of FxCop.
