Staff are very helpful
Staff are very helpful. Software is very full featured.
Website is often not functional, mainly due to the complexity of Grape City's licensing schemes. I've been a customer for over 10 years and have NEVER been able to simply renew my license via Grape City's Website.

Upgraded a 10+ year old app that uses C1
Working on an app that was using a 10+ years old version of ComponentOne (C1). Purchased a new license, updated the C1 dlls, and amazingly, everything worked. Hats off to C1 for keeping backwards compatibility to work this well after 10 years. The installer is good, the C1 control panel is a great way to manage installed versions (WinForms, WPF, MVC, etc.), manage licenses and look at sample projects in Visual Studio. The controls are all great and their object models are well thought out. Everything is much more organized than it was 10 years ago. The C1 calendar, textbox, combobox are all resizable, which is great because you can't change the size of the native Windows calendar, and changing the size/padding in the Windows textbox and combo box is annoyingly difficult (not just talking about the width, talking about changing the height and padding inside the control). There is lots of bad chatter on the internet regarding their licensing, so far so good here, but that is one area of concern.
UPDATE: I've been using my new C1 license for 2 weeks now, and occasionally I get a license pop-up from C1 that I don't have a license and to recompile with a valid license. All I have to do is recompile and it picks up my license again, but it does reinforce what I've been reading on the internet, that their licensing is flaky.

Hello David,
We're glad to hear that you did not have much trouble when it comes to upgrading your old controls to a newer version. We've also heard that some folks have had issues when it comes to licensing, so our teams are currently looking at ways to make it clearer and easier to license your applications.
