該軟件庫提供了兩種不同的版本：Ria Essential Pack Standard 和 Ria Essential Pack Professional。這兩個(gè)版本之間的不同之處在于其支持的功能。以下將對二者的不同之處進(jìn)行詳細(xì)比較。

ASP.NET Ria Grid

RiaGridView控件能顯示的數(shù)據(jù)來源可為Web頁面中的表格形式數(shù)據(jù)，如對之進(jìn)行選擇，排序以及編輯。其基于ASP.NET以及Silverlight技術(shù)，即通過將Silverlight應(yīng)用引入原來是ASP.NET組件的GridView中，這使得其可以使用Visual Studio環(huán)境中的相應(yīng)功能對RiaGridView控件的相關(guān)設(shè)置進(jìn)行調(diào)整。

• 數(shù)據(jù)源綁定

對于數(shù)據(jù)源，用戶可以使用任意控件，以應(yīng)用其系統(tǒng)，程序集或者IEnumerable的接口。所有標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的GridView可以使用的數(shù)據(jù)源均支持RiaGridView。

• 列字段

用戶也可通過定義其列字段集來手動操作其列字段的顯示。RiaGridView控件支持六種列字段，其可以以下形式顯示數(shù)據(jù)：文本，超鏈接，復(fù)選框，圖像或者按鍵。

• 分頁，排序和拖曳

RiaGridView控件元素允許用戶通過指定篩選字段的屬性進(jìn)行數(shù)據(jù)排序。該排序動作可以通過左擊列首的矩形完成。

• 選擇以及數(shù)據(jù)操作

用戶可對數(shù)據(jù)單元的進(jìn)行單項(xiàng)或者多項(xiàng)選擇，比如對之進(jìn)行編輯，插入或者刪除數(shù)據(jù)庫記錄。要選擇數(shù)據(jù)單元，用戶只需左擊其即可，然后被選定的單元格即會改變顏色。用戶還可通過使用鼠標(biāo)光標(biāo)指示選擇區(qū)域而對數(shù)個(gè)單元格進(jìn)行選定。

• 列模版

在對一個(gè)列進(jìn)行的數(shù)據(jù)記錄進(jìn)行編輯時(shí)，軟件還為綁定區(qū)域的數(shù)據(jù)提供了一個(gè)下拉列表。當(dāng)用戶改變其選定的值時(shí)，與RiaGridView控件綁定的數(shù)據(jù)源的相應(yīng)數(shù)據(jù)也會相應(yīng)改變。

• 數(shù)據(jù)篩選

• 數(shù)據(jù)分組

• 數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)

• RiaGridView的外觀

ASP.NET RiaChart

用戶在其Web頁面中使用ASP.NET RiaChart 時(shí)，其能幫助擴(kuò)展數(shù)據(jù)顯示的形式為圖形或者圖表。RiaChart是對Microsoft的l ASP.NET圖表控件的繼承，其可以通過內(nèi)置的Silverlight在客戶的瀏覽器中進(jìn)行顯示。

• 數(shù)據(jù)綁定
  
  其擁有一系列內(nèi)置的創(chuàng)建數(shù)列的方法，并能將之添加入圖表中，該功能擴(kuò)展了RiaChart控件數(shù)據(jù)綁定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)選項(xiàng)。具備圖表能力的數(shù)列一旦被創(chuàng)建，用戶即需將之綁定至適當(dāng)?shù)膱D表區(qū)域，并為之選定類型（列，條，點(diǎn)，線，餅）。

用戶還可對圖表的坐標(biāo)軸以及相應(yīng)網(wǎng)格的網(wǎng)格線顯示進(jìn)行操作：為坐標(biāo)軸指定標(biāo)簽名，在圖表的相應(yīng)網(wǎng)格上指定相應(yīng)的域（最大和最小的坐標(biāo)值）

The library is supplied in two versions: Ria Essential Pack Standard and Ria Essential Pack Professional - the difference is in the supported features. The following table details the differences between the two versions:

ASP.NET Ria Grid

　　The RiaGridView control allows displaying data from the data source on a web page in the form of a table, as well as selecting, sorting and editing them. It is based on both ASP.NET and Silverlight technologies, by introducing the Silverlight application into GridView, an ASP.NET component. This allows using the capabilities of the Visual Studio environment for tuning the settings of the RiaGridView control.

• Data Source Binding
   

　　As a data source, you can use any control, implementing the System.Collections.IEnumerable interface. All the data sources, that a standard GridView can work with, will be allowed for RiaGridView.

• Column Fields

　　You can also manipulate the display of the columns manually by defining your own column field collection. The RiaGridView control element supports six types of columns that allow displaying data as a text, a hyperlink, a checkbox, an image or a button.

• Paging, Sorting and Dragging

　　The RiaGridView control element allows you to sort data by the column specified in the sorting field property. The sorting is assigned by left clicking the triangle in the in the column header.

• Selection and Data Manipulation

　　A user has an option of single or multiple selections of data cells, as well as editing, inserting and deleting database records. To select a cell, simply left click it. The selected cell will change color. You can select several cells, by indicating the selection area with the mouse cursor.

• Column Templating

　　For editing a record from a column, there is a drop-down list of data from the bound field. When you change the selected value, the data in the data source bound to the RiaGridView control changes accordingly.

• Data Filtering

• Data Grouping

• Data Statistics

• RiaGridView Styles

ASP.NET RiaChart

　　Using the RiaChart control on your web page expands the options of data visualization that can be presented both as diagrams and as charts. RiaChart control is a heir of the wonderful ASP.NET Charting Control from Microsoft, that visualises it in the client's browser with the help of the in-built Silverlight application.

• Data Binding

　　A set of the in-built methods of creating series and adding them to the Chart expands the standard options of data binding for the RiaChart control element. Chart Features Series are created from the source data. Then you should bind them to a diagram area and choose a type for it (Column, Bar, Point, Line, Pie).

　　You can also manipulate the display of diagram axes and the lines of the coordinate grid: assign label names on the axes, specify the coordinate range (the minimum and maximum values of axes) of the chart on the coordinate grid.
