ComponentOne® Releases ComponentOne WebMarket - A Demonstration Utilizing the Features and Functionality of ComponentOne Studio Enterprise ASP.NET Components

PITTSBURGH, PA - ComponentOne LLC today announced the release of ComponentOne WebMarket. This new demonstration, hosted at www.componentone.com/c1webmarket, provides a first hand view of the features and functionality of ComponentOne Studio Enterprise ASP.NET components.

The WebMarket demo illustrates how developers can use WebForms components such as ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET to create sophisticated applications. It displays stock market data in ways that highlight the versatility of ComponentOne's controls:

·   Master-detail grids with data-sensitive formatting and custom paging.
·   Bar, area, line, and hi-lo-open-close charts with optional 3D effects.
·   Tabular displays with Outlook-style grouping and sorting.
·   Dynamic data-driven reports, optionally rendered as PDF.

Behind the user interface, WebMarket is powered by ComponentOne WebDataObjects for .NET, a comprehensive database framework that provides a clear separation between business logic and the presentation layer. The WebMarket demo also illustrates the use of WebDataObjects to implement calculated fields, constraint expressions, custom business methods, data validation, and reusable data libraries.

Developers can download the full source code for the WebMarket application by visiting www.componentone.com/c1webmarket. The application also includes context-sensitive help topics that explain the code behind the forms. Some of the key concepts include:

·   Using ComponentOne WebDataObjects to implement a centralized data schema with business logic.
·   Using ComponentOne WebGrid to render tabular data in a variety of formats with client-side scripting for end-user interaction.
·   Using ComponentOne WebChart to present visually appealing charts and graphs of numeric data.
·   Using ComponentOne WebReports to display formatted reports in a customizable preview control or as PDF.
