When you install ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET 2.0, the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab checkbox is checked, by default, in the installation wizard. When you open Visual Studio, you will notice a ComponentOne Studio for ASP.NET 2.0 tab containing the ComponentOne controls has automatically been added to the Toolbox.
If you decide to uncheck the Create a ComponentOne Visual Studio Toolbox Tab checkbox during installation, you can manually add ComponentOne controls to the Toolbox at a later time.
ComponentOne WebDataObjects for ASP.NET provides the following controls:
• C1WebDataSet
• C1WebSchemaDef
• C1WebExpressConnection
• C1WebExpressTable
To use C1WebDataObjects, add these controls to the form or add a reference to the C1.Web.Data assembly to your project.
Manually Adding C1WebDataObjects Components to the Toolbox
To add the controls to the Visual Studio Toolbox:
1. Open the Visual Studio IDE (Microsoft Development Environment). Make sure the Toolbox is visible (select Toolbox in the View menu if necessary) and right-click it to open the context menu.
2. If you want one or more of the WebDataObjects for ASP.NET components to appear on their own tab in the Toolbox, select Add Tab from the context menu and type in the tab name, C1WebDataObjects, for example.
3. Right-click the tab where you want the components to appear and select Choose Items from the context menu. The Choose Toolbox Items dialog box opens.
4. In the dialog box, select the .NET Framework Components tab. Sort the list by Namespace (click the Namespace column header) and check the check boxes for components available in the C1.Web.Data or C1.Web.Data.Express namespace. Note that there may be more than one component for a namespace.
Note: If you do not have C1DataObjects components installed in the Toolbox, you also need to select components in the C1.Data or C1.Data.Express namespace.
Adding WebDataObjects for ASP.NET Components to the Form
To add one of the components to a form:
1. Add it to the Visual Studio Toolbox.
2. Double-click the control or drag it onto your form.
Adding a Reference to the Assembly
To add a reference to the C1.Web.Data.2 assembly:
1. Select the Add Reference option from the Project menu of your project.
2. Select the ComponentOne WebData assembly from the list on the .NET tab or browse to find the C1.Web.Data.2.dll file and click OK.
3. Double-click the form caption area to open the code window. At the top of the file, add the following Imports statement (using in C#):
Imports C1.Web.Data
Note: This makes the objects defined in the C1WebDataObjects assembly visible to the project. See Namespaces for more information.
