.NET Components are third party reusable components which have been created using the Microsoft .NET Framework. Examples of .NET Framework components are calendars, graphing, spell checking, advanced grids and browsers.
.NET Components may be components or controls that you have created yourself, purchased from a third party, or standard controls in the Microsoft .NET Framework.
LANSA provides support for the use of .NET Framework components and controls in Visual LANSA projects, however we recommend that you read Before You Decide to Use a .NET Component and Visual LANSA Restrictions and Naming Conventions for .NET Component Classes before you start.
