Updates in this release

Updates in 2010 v3

The key new feature this release is reporting. ComponentOne have broken the limitation barriers when it comes to displaying PDF and HTML content in Silverlight with their two new viewer controls: C1ReportViewer and C1PdfViewer. You can now display your SSRS reports to end-users in a rich Internet application.

This release also gives you the ability to create multi-user schedules with the new grouping features in C1Scheduler. Create and manage appointments for any number of contacts or resources. This was one of the most requested features. Among all the new controls and features this release also has one of the first ever real 3D charts for Silverlight. Graph real 3D surface and contour charts with the new charting control.

Improving the development experience with Studio for Silverlight

Unified XAML Namespaces throughout Studio for Silverlight
We've just made development with Studio for Silverlight a whole lot easier. Now you only need to add one namespace reference to your XAML pages. No longer do you need a separate reference for each ComponentOne library being used.

ComponentOne ClearStyle™ Technology
ComponentOne's innovative ClearStyle™ technology now spreads across the entire studio, making design work a simple task. In this release they've added ClearStyle support to the following controls: DropDown, ComboBox, NumericBox, FilePicker, TreeView, Windows, Menu, ContextMenu, RangeSlider, TabControl, Expander, Accordion, ColorPicker, PropertyGrid, CoverFlow, Maps, MediaPlayer, DateTime Editors, Toolbar, and DockControl.

New C1ScrollViewer Control
ComponentOne Studio for Silverlight now includes a replacement for the standard ScrollViewer control which is fully compatible with WPF and supports scrolling in both horizontal and vertical directions.
