We're pleased to announce the final major release of 2017: ComponentOne Studio Enterprise v3, with a new control, new charts, new themes, and several new demos!
You may have noticed a new look across all GrapeCity products! We've updated all of our developer solutions product lines to better reflect the full family of products. Over the next year, we'll continue integrating the new brand into ComponentOne's demos, documentation, and installers, and improve the UX and performance, as well.

This server-side control is available in ASP.NET 4.0 and ASP.NET Core.
