ComponentOne Studio for Silverlight is a suite of more than 50 Silverlight controls including chart, Data grid, FlexGrid, PDF viewer, rich text box, scheduler, maps, gauges and more. The controls share the same codebase as ComponentOne's WPF controls and Windows Phone controls so you can build rich web, mobile and desktop client applications while sharing a lot of the same code. This will reduce development time, cost and eliminate the learning curve of having to learn controls from multiple platforms.
ComponentOne Studio for Silverlight is also included in ComponentOne Studio Enterprise and ComponentOne Ultimate.
Updates in 2011 v3
New OutlookBar Control
- Group menus and controls into distinct categories with this side bar navigation system. ComponentOne OutlookBar for Silverlight mimics the Microsoft Outlook navigation pane. It consists of any number of categories represented by buttons where each button has a header as well as a panel for adding additional controls.
Chart for Silverlight Enhancements
- New high performance bitmap rendering mode (RenderMode = Bitmap) for line and symbol chart types.
- Added support for multiple radial axes for radar charts and corresponding options for specifying the appearance of axis labels.
- New Axis.AnnoCreated event allows you to customize the appearance of axis labels programmatically.
- Enhanced clipping behavior when using stacked plot areas to prevent elements extending to neighboring plot areas.
FlexGrid for Silverlight Enhancements
- Added ShowOutlineBar property which causes the grid to show a row of numbered buttons on the first column header, similar to Microsoft Excel.
- New ChildItemsPath property allows for easy tree view creation. If your data class has a property that contains a list of elements of any type, C1FlexGrid will show this hierarchical structure as a tree.
