.Net ModelKit Suite 3.0 is a pure .NET 2.0 component.

Perpetuum Software LLC announces the official release of the .Net ModelKit Suite 3.0, a comprehensive and complete set of BI software components with vast capabilities for the creation of enterprise-grade decision support systems. The delivery package contains only pure .NET 2.0 versions of the following components: Report Sharp-Shooter, Instrumentation ModelKit, Chart ModelKit, and OLAP ModelKit. Now you can take advantage of the whole .NET 2.0 functionality.

The .Net ModelKit Suite 3.0 ensures improved usability and delivers some new features.

Improved Visual Interface.
Automatic layout of localized interface elements allows the correct displaying and positioning of these elements in the property grid and on the toolbar. So, designers of all components included in the package will have an attractive appearance no matter what language is selected as the current one.

New designers.
Designers became more convenient, as some properties are available not only in the property grid but also from the designer toolbar. For example you can change element’s style, size, fill, as well as text style, size, font color, format, alignment from the toolbar. Expressions toolbar provides a more convenient way of assigning expressions for a selected element property; no need to invoke the expression editor.

Improved report viewer.
Report Sharp-Shooter features an improved WinForms viewer. Its user interface became more convenient and attractive.

Re-designed mechanism of data grouping
The working with groups in Report Sharp-Shooter became easier. Now it is possible to sort groups and their elements. More over, Master-Detail reports are designed in the same way Group reports are created; this facilitates evaluation and exploration of the report generator.

The DataBand functionality is extended.
The component is able to perform filtering and sorting of the displayed data.

Re-designed mechanism of working with aggregate functions.
Calculation of data totals in Report Sharp-Shooter is performed in a more convenient manner; a wide range of aggregate functions is available: sum, minimum, maximum, average, standard deviation, estimate of standard deviation, variance, estimate of variance, median, skewness, and kurtosis. Group totals are calculated automatically; no need to specify the current group. It is possible to calculate running totals and totals by page.

Please be advised that the .NET ModelKit 3.0 supports only .NET 2.0. If you work with .NET Framework 1.1, please use the .Net ModelKit Suite 2.3 that is compatible with .NET 1.1 and 2.0.
