Studio for WinForms Features

65+ .NET Components and Controls
Studio for WinForms adds over 65 components and controls to your Visual Studio toolbox. These controls not only fill the gap with what's missing in the standard toolkit, but they add more features, functionality, and better performance over their existing counterparts.

Support for .NET 4.0
Studio for WinForms controls support .NET 4.0 in both full and client profile mode, as well as .NET 3.0, 3.5 and 2.0.

Best-selling Grids in the Market
Since 1991 ComponentOne has been offering two award-winning grids for creating Windows Client applications: ComponentOne FlexGrid and ComponentOne True DBGrid. Each is designed to give you the best performance for different types of applications. FlexGrid is designed to be very flexible and is the only truly unbound grid available; it is the most versatile grid control for creating user-friendly interfaces that help format, organise, and summarise tabular data. The strength of True DBGrid for WinForms is in its out of the box features. It offers features like Excel-like split views, filtering, hierarchical binding, grouping, printing and exporting without any additional coding required.

Microsoft Office Visual Styles
All of our visual controls are packaged with Visual Styles based on the Microsoft Office Suite. Create applications that look and feel just like popular desktop applications like Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and even Visual Studio.

Innovative InputPanel Control
ComponentOne InputPanel for WinForms is the new paradigm to create and maintain data-entry forms. It is a panel that can be placed on a Windows Form to help developers create powerful data entry applications. Developers define what input fields they would like to expose using any combination of the nineteen native data input controls provided or any third party .NET control. Or simply connect the InputPanel for WinForms to a data source, select the record set, and an input control for each field is automatically created for you.

Smarter Design-time Technology
ComponentOne SmartDesigner technology is included in most Studio for WinForms controls, allowing you to set the components most common properties without leaving the design surface. Set up your entire interface just using the design-time wizards, property dialogs, smart tags and context-sensitive toolbars provided by our SmartDesigner technology.

Advanced Charting Made Easy
ComponentOne Chart for WinForms, an advanced set of charting controls, comes packed with all the features you need. The charts are easy to setup and maintain as all features are built-in and require no additional coding. With Chart for WinForms you get over 80 chart types, designers for code-free development, flexible and customisable charting elements, visual effects, end-user interaction, advanced mouse-tracking capabilities, built-in analysis features and more. ComponentOne is also the only vendor to provide real 3D charts, a key component for charting surface and contour charts in the scientific community.

Mimic Popular Microsoft UIs and Layouts
We provide the controls so that you can replicate popular interfaces as seen in Microsoft programs like Office, Word, Excel, and so forth. For example, Studio for WinForms includes a navigation bar, C1NavBar, identical to the one used in Microsoft Outlook. We also provide a Ribbon control which duplicates the Office 2007 Ribbon UI in your apps. These controls come customisable so you can modify them to perfectly match your app.

Microsoft Excel Support
Develop applications that exceed Microsoft Excel and give your end-users the customised solutions they need. Both ComponentOne FlexGrid and ComponentOne True DBGrid offer many Excel-like features, such as splits, filtering, keyboard navigation, cell selection modes, and Visual Styles. Import Excel files into FlexGrid and export both datagrids to either XLS or XLSX (Open-XML) formats. Plus, with ComponentOne Excel for .NET, you can load, generate, and save spreadsheets using this .NET object model for total control and Excel integration.

Simple Reporting Integration
With a rich object model for generating and saving reports, and a report designer for editing, previewing and loading report definition files without writing a single line of code, ComponentOne Reports delivers you an all-in-one reporting solution. Generating cutting-edge reports for your .NET applications has never been easier.

You can also use Reports for WinForms to integrate your existing reporting solutions into your desktop applications. Convert reports from Access or Crystal to ComponentOne Reports. Directly render reports from SQL Server Reporting Services or create your reports using the C1Report component and the ComponentOne Report Designer application.

Out-of-the-box Scheduling Solutions
The powerful scheduling and calendar components included in ComponentOne Scheduler enable you to build fully functional Microsoft Outlook-style scheduling applications quickly – with virtually no code.

Handle More Data, Faster
Replace the standard ADO.NET technology with the innovative virtual mode technology supported in ComponentOne DataObjects for .NET, and experience increased performance when using large datasets.

Add Spell-Checking
Studio for WinForms includes the fastest spell-checker control on the market, ComponentOne SpellChecker, averaging over 400,000 words per second. Add spell-checking to virtually any editable UI control in your application, and with our 22 international dictionaries localisation is not a problem.

Embed Context-sensitive Help
Embed Help files in WinForms applications with the unique ComponentOne DynamicHelp. Map help topics to various actions within your application to deliver appropriate help content to the end-user. This type of Help system is available in applications such as Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Office, and ComponentOne Doc-To-Help.
