Unique Integrated Framework
ComponentOne offers a complete solution that targets all runtime environments (WinForms, WebForms, mobile devices) and all application layers (data, presentation, reporting, transformation). The cornerstone of ComponentOne Studio Enterprise is the data layer, which encapsulates business logic in reusable assemblies called data libraries.
Data Layer
The ComponentOne data layer provides a comprehensive data and business objects framework that serves .NET applications of any range, scalability, and architecture:
- Desktop applications
- Client-server applications
- 3-tier distributed applications
- Enterprise-wide business object libraries
Based on Microsoft ADO.NET technology, the data layer simplifies and enhances database application development in many significant ways:
- It promotes code-free data access through drag-and-drop designers and bindable components representing datasets, tables, and views
- It is platform-neutral. Data libraries can be consumed by both WinForms and WebForms applications, without modification
- It supports huge databases through a unique virtual mode technology that fetches data in segments while providing performance tuning options and control over background operations
- It isolates the physical database structure from the logical structure needed for business objects and user interface design
- It supports composite tables representing joins between two or more physical tables. Composite tables are exposed to data consumers as a simple table, and the data layer automatically handles updating and deleting of the physical rows in the underlying tables
- It centralizes business logic by providing a repository for data validation rules, calculated fields, constraints, remote methods, and other domain-specific tasks
- It automates server-side caching for WebForms applications at the global and session levels, and also supports memory-resident table views for optimized access to read-only data
- It provides a rich object model and programmable business logic components for customizing the behavior of fetch, edit, update, insert, and delete operations
- It generates type-safe classes that map to the tables and views exposed in a data library assembly
- It saves development time and effort by making it possible (and easy) to maintain a single data library and deploy it in any application configuration
Presentation Layer
The ComponentOne presentation layer consists of a suite of best-of-breed user interface controls that interoperate seamlessly with the data layer, combining powerful data manipulation capabilities with unmatched flexibility in GUI design:
- Grids with a variety of data viewing and editing options
- 2D Charts (bar, line, area, pie, radar, polar, candle)
- 3D Charts (surface, contour, scatter, bar)
- Input editors (masked edit, date, numeric, database navigator)
- Menus and toolbars
- Form layout components
These controls are among the top-selling components in the industry, and have won numerous awards.
Reporting Layer
The ComponentOne Report Designer is a standalone application for creating XML-based report definition files at design time. At run time, reports are rendered in a customizable preview control (WinForms) or as HTML (WebForms). The ComponentOne reporting layer offers a number of advantages:
- It imports existing report definitions from both Crystal Reports and Microsoft Access
- It integrates natively with the ComponentOne data layer
- It is platform-neutral. Report definitions can be consumed by both WinForms and WebForms applications
- It makes deployment easier by allowing report definitions to be embedded within applications
- It includes a powerful object model (C1PrintDocument) that can be used to programmatically render free-form reports
- Source code for the Report Designer is also available
Transformation Layer
The ComponentOne transformation layer extracts, converts, loads, and saves data from a variety of heterogeneous sources, including popular file formats such as XML, PDF, and ZIP. It is used internally by the presentation and reporting layers, and is surfaced in standalone components such as C1Zip and C1Pdf.
Benefits
ComponentOne Studio Enterprise is an indispensable set of tools for serious application development. It combines rich object models and unparalleled functionality with easy-to-use visual designers and components. Its data, presentation, and reporting layers are tightly integrated, yet flexible enough to be coupled with Microsoft data access components or third-party controls. What makes ComponentOne Studio Enterprise unique is that it is not just a set of presentation layer components or reporting tools, but a complete package that spans all application layers. Data access is the foundation of any real-world application, and the ComponentOne data layer has no peer. With ComponentOne Studio Enterprise, developers can add core functionality, improve performance, and build more extensible applications for any .NET platform.
