The following are some of the main features of ComponentOne OLAP for Silverlight that you may find useful:
•OLAP for Silverlight provides ultimate flexibility for building OLAP
applications
Drop one control, C1OlapPage, on your form and set the data source to
start displaying your data in a grid or chart–it's that easy! But suppose you
need to show multiple charts or grids. No problem. OLAP for Silverlight
also provides the C1OlapPanel, C1OlapChart, and C1OlapGrid controls to give you the flexibility you
need. See the C1Olap
Architecture topic for an overview of each of the controls.
•Choose from five chart types and twenty-two palette options to enhance
your charts
C1OlapChart
provides the most common chart types to display your information, including:
Bar, Column, Area, Line, and Scatter. You can select from twenty-two palette
options that define the colors of the chart and legend items. See Using the Chart Menu to view
all of the chart types and palettes.
•Print, preview, or export data to PDF
You can create and
preview reports containing data, grids, or charts and then print or export them
to PDF. See Creating a Report
and the OLAP for Silverlight
Task-Based Help for more information.
•Remove a field or data in a field from the grid or chart
view
You can easily filter a field so it doesn't appear in your grid or
chart view. Simply drag the field to the Filter area of a C1OlapPanel; see Removing a Field from a Data View for more
information. If you want to filter on data in a field, for example, if you want
to find all employees whose last names start with "Sim", you can use the
Field Settings dialog box. See Filtering Data in a Field for detailed
steps.
•Display information in a grid or chart view
OLAP for
Silverlight provides a C1OlapGrid and C1OlapChart control to display data. These controls
are built into the C1OlapPage
control, but they are also available as separate controls so you can customize
your OLAP application. See the C1Olap Architecture topic for an overview of
each of the controls.
•Decide how information is displayed at run time
Use the C1OlapPanel to determine which
fields of your data source should be used to display your data and how. Drag
fields between the lower areas of the C1OlapPanel to create a filter, column headers, row
headers, or get the sum of values from a column or row. For more information,
see C1OlapPanel.
