"For richer user interface, theming, and end-user customization, we have integrated Microsoft Silverlight into our Web Parts. Integrating Silverlight with Office SharePoint Server 2007 can be both technically challenging and cost prohibitive for most organizations," said John Juback, product architect at ComponentOne. "In-place customization was a design goal for our Web Parts. ComponentOne's Web Parts give everyone from site administrators to ordinary users the ability to customize their Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site without having to use development tools or learn complex programming models."

ComponentOne Web Parts are ideal for implementing interactive dashboards to analyze data from SharePoint lists or SQL Server databases. All of the ComponentOne Web Parts share a consistent design-time interface for specifying data sources and persisting properties while respecting the built-in security and versioning features of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Office SharePoint Server 2007.

"With products like ComponentOne's SharePoint Web Parts, customers can better harness the interactivity and performance of the Silverlight platform on the powerful SharePoint Server 2007 platform," said Tom Rizzo, senior director of SharePoint at Microsoft. "Technologies built on the SharePoint Server 2007 platform can expand on the out-of-the-box user experience for designing, maintaining, and personalizing Web Part pages."

ComponentOne DataGrid(TM) for SharePoint (C1DataGrid) provides a scrollable view of an Office SharePoint Server 2007 list or Microsoft SQL Server query result set. It supports filtering and sorting on the server as well as on the Silverlight client. You can also create master-detail displays that combine heterogeneous data sources.

ComponentOne Chart(TM) for SharePoint (C1Chart) renders data in a variety of popular, built-in chart types. You can easily control the numbering and labeling of the chart axes, reposition the chart legend, and modify the look of the chart with predefined themes and color palettes. ComponentOne Chart(TM) for SharePoint also connects directly to any supported data source, eliminating the need for a spreadsheet to access data.

ComponentOne Maps(TM) for SharePoint (C1Maps) uses Virtual Earth for map layers. You can change the coordinates and the zoom factor by interacting with the map directly, or by using the Silverlight-based property editor. You can also connect to a data source to label points on the map and define their behavior. For example, you can display a street map view in a modal dialog or show the underlying data values in a tooltip.
