      If a person buys GrapeCity ComponentOne:
    

    Do they receive complete documentation,

    including the object model?

    If they were using the trial version, would they have

    complete documentation?

    I’m in the 2nd group – I don’t find such

    documentation.

    And what does C1 mean? Old stuff? New stuff? How are C1 things different from other things?

    Hi,

    The Documentation for every control is available on our website. Please follow this link: https://www.grapecity.com/componentone/docs/ and choose the Edition you are using (Winforms/Wpf etc) and then the control whose documentation you need. Every Control documentation contains the API reference section at the end which contains the Object Model.

    In some cases like Ribbon, FlexPivot, Report, C1 indicates the old version. Otherwise, C1 is used to avoid naming conflicts. For Example: in the case of control like TextBox, C1TextBox avoids conflict.

    Prabhat,

    A perfect response.

    Thank you — this is exactly what I needed to understand.

    Only one [big] problem – you get to the item you want in the API model and all it shows you is the constructor.

    Example

    BindingMode Property (FlexChart)

    Gets or sets the binding mode.

    Syntax (C#)

    public BindingMode BindingMode {get; set;}

    So what is Binding Mode, for example?

    Hi,

    The API reference provides you with the object model and a brief comment about what the property or method is for. The other sections of the documentation provide information on how to use specific properties and methods to achieve a specific task. If you have a question which the documentation does not answer then we are here for your support. Please let us know.

    Regards,

    Prabhat Sharma.
