When you install ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET 2.0, the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox Tab check box is checked, by default, in the installation wizard. When you open Visual Studio 2005, you will notice a ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET 2.0 Projects tab containing the ComponentOne controls has automatically been added to the Toolbox.
If you decide to uncheck the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio 2005 Toolbox Tab check box during installation, you can manually add ComponentOne controls to the Toolbox at a later time.
• C1WebMenu
• C1WebToolBar
• C1WebTopicBar
• C1WebTreeView
• C1WebTabStrip
C1WebMenu represents a root menu in a Web Forms page. It is a tree type control that is a descendant from C1WebCustomTreeControl class. The C1WebMenu control is a menu that (unlike submenus) is always visible on your form. After you have placed it on the form, you can add menu items to it by right-clicking the menu and selecting Edit menu from the context menu. This exposes the C1WebCommandEditor. The C1WebCommandEditor can be used to add, delete, and move menu items and submenus in the hierarchy. You can select either horizontal or vertical layout for the root menu. Several root menus can be placed on the same form.
C1WebToolBar represents a toolbar. It is a flat type control since it only contains two levels items and groups. Like the C1WebMenu, it is also always visible on the form. After you have placed it on the form, you can add C1WebToolBarButtons (of the type C1WebToolBarItem, C1WebContentItem, and C1WebSeparator items) by right-clicking the C1WebToolBar and selecting Edit Groups from the context menu. This exposes the C1WebToolBarGroup Collection Editor.

After you have placed it on the form you can add groups and items to it by right-clicking the C1WebTopicBar and selecting Edit Groups from the context menu. This exposes the C1WebTopicBarGroup Collection Editor, which can be used to add, delete, and edit items and groups. The C1WebTopicBar control allows you to implement elegant windows XP-style or custom designed navigation panels on your Web pages.
C1WebTreeView represents a hierarchical tree structure like the C1WebMenu control. It is always visible on the form. It is a tree type control that is a descendant from C1WebCustomTreeControl class. After you have placed it on the form, you can add tree items to it by right-clicking the treeview and selecting Edit Groups from the context menu exposes the C1WebTreeView Collection Editor, which can be used to add, delete, and move items and child items in the hierarchy.
C1WebTabStrip represents an ASP.NET tabbed control. It is a flat type control which consists of two levels: items and groups. The tabbed type controls are often used for navigating a Web site. After you have placed it on the form, you can add tabs (groups) and items to it by right-clicking the TabStrip and selecting Edit Groups from the context menu. This exposes the C1WebTabStripGroup Collection Editor.
To use C1WebCommand, add these controls to the form or add a reference to the C1.Web.C1Command assembly to your project.
