What's Inside?

Why use Studio for Windows Phone?

Consistent Metro UI Design

Studio for Windows Phone supports the Metro UI design and interaction guidelines specified by Microsoft. By default, each control supports a Metro look and automatically inherits the dark or light theme set by the user. Be confident that your apps will look consistent on your users' phones.
Stunning Data Visualization

Your charting apps are just a few clicks away with Chart for Windows Phone offering over 30 chart types, user interaction, and a wide range of color palettes. Gauges for Windows Phone, with a variety of designs and shapes, give you dashboard-style visualization perfect for the mobile platform.
XAML Styling Made Easy: ClearStyle Technology

ClearStyle Technology is our new paradigm to XAML control styling. ClearStyle allows developers to easily change control colors without having to modify control templates. By just setting a few brush properties in Visual Studio 2010 you can quickly give a unique look to the control without having to work in Expression Blend or hire a professional designer.
Maps Powered By Esri

ComponentOne has partnered with Esri, the leading online map and GIS provider, to bring you the best mapping tools and UI controls together in one package. Easily transform GIS data into business intelligence with controls for Windows Phone with Maps powered by Esri^®.
