Using ComponentOne Templates

Ribbon Project Templates

ComponentOne WinForms Edition offers predefined project templates that create and configure WinForms Ribbon applications in Visual Studio. The ComponentOne installer registers these templates during WinForms Edition installation.

These templates provide a quick start for developing applications with ComponentOne Ribbon for WinForms by creating a ready-to-run project structure and automatically including required Ribbon resources and configuration settings.

The templates add these required resources to the project:

  • Adds required WinForms Edition references.

  • Adds a Licensing.licx file containing valid licenses.

  • Adds a sample demonstrating the related control or component.
