ComponentOne released ComponentOne Studio Enterprise 2006 v2, a comprehensive component toolset for Windows, Web, and Mobile application development. This release includes AJAX-enabled components, new charting features, and new productivity technology.

Studio Enterprise, built on a unique and flexible framework, consists of a set of natively compiled products for Visual Studio 2005 as well as an already complete line of .NET Framework 1.x versions.

This release strengthens our toolset by including full support for the increasingly popular AJAX technology, as well as important new features, functionality and components that provide developers with a streamlined visual development experience.”
