WebChart Smart Tag
In Visual Studio 2005 (.NET Framework 2.0), each Ultimate UI for ASP.NET control/component is equipped with a Smart Tag. By simply selecting the control/component, a Smart Tag anchor appears. When you click this anchor, a pop-up panel appears, providing you with quick and easy access to the most common properties and settings of the control/component.
The WebChart™ Smart Tag contains the following sections:
-
Actions — Provides quick access to the Chart Wizard and Quick Design, which allow you to create and configure charts.
-
Behavior — Provides easy access to properties that govern how the control behaves on the form.
-
Appearance — Provides common tasks involving the appearance, look, and feel of the control.
See below for a description of the item (e.g., drop-down list) in each section, as well as the item’s corresponding property in the properties grid.
