.NET Products: Improve your application's presentation layer with rock-solid .NET technology.

Quickstart

Seamless Visual Studio Integration

Both Chart FX and Grid FX take advantage of the .NET Framework to provide robust features. Within Visual Studio, we've been able to make the design-time experience not only more enjoyable, but more productive as well. By extending the smart tags to include a full wizard, it is now easier to achieve a more polished and finished look through a graphical interface with less need to write code. Additionally, graphical tools have even been added to the property grid. With ASP.NET 2.0, Grid FX was able to expose a WYSIWYG designer for easy grid layout and template creation.

Advanced Graphics Capabilities

To provide the greatest aesthetics for our tools, we make great use of .NET's GDI+ technology. Some areas in Grid FX, such as the borders, while Chart FX uses it for much of the drawing and text in the various chart types.

Help is at Hand

We utilize Microsoft's Help 2.0 to provide our Resource Center document mechanism to make the integration as smooth as possible. This allows us to not only deliver a "Programmer's Guide" and API, but also a wealth of actual samples (and code) that you can integrate and test in your applications. Plus the well designed and organized Resource Center allows a single repository for Software FX documentation without any duplication. .NET also allows to provide localized resources for several languages and allow developers to create their own in a standardized way.

Effortless and Flexible Data Connectivity

In both Chart FX and Grid FX, the data is what's important. Both allow you to connect to data sources through ADO.NET and create business objects connections for easier development. Chart FX also adds the ability to accept data from an XML file. Grid FX utilizes ASP.NET 2.0 for its child data architecture and exposing master details through the IDE.

Thoughtful End-User Appointments

Besides making the developer's job easier and more productive, we also keep in mind the end user. We provide more dynamic charts and grids via .NET controls, toolbars and/or personalization options. We use callback mechanisms to AJAX-enable both the grid and charts and provide timely data presentation and visualization.
