NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization

It's official, NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization components are no longer super secret NDA.  For those of you who I spoke to recently and told you to tune in for some important announcements around PDC.. here it is.

Aside from the Charts and Gauges that you've undoubtedly seen already, I'm proud to tell you about the rest of the Data Vis controls we've been working on.  To start things off, there the Map.

Map

Maps can be built out of standard ESRI files meaning you can build your own version of the United States that included Canada if you wanted to.  (Just joking Canada)  The Infragistics Silverlight Map control has support for drilldowns built in, enabling you to respond to mouse events.

Timeline

The Timeline control is exactly as it sounds - a Timeline. You can add markers to the timeline, as well as show details when the user selects a point in time.  There's also the nifty navigation bar allowing you to quickly move through time as if you were Hiro Nakamura (yes, I'm a HUGE Heroes fan).

Chart

In addition to the wide variety of chart types you saw in the prior CTP's, charging got a huge update with zooming and scrolling.

Gauge

The Gauge received some love as well, including some revised skins that fit in much nicer in a Silverlight application.

All of these NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization samples are currently available online at http://labs.infragistics.com/silverlight/datavisualizationsamples/ 

So if you're like me, and can't wait - read more about the controls and download the CTP.

  • Hi Rob,Thanks for the review.Regarding the gap you mentoin. That's why patterns have the various parts to them beyond just a problem-solution statement (namely, the context, rationale, implementation, and examples). These help you know when to use them, why they work, and provide guidelines and examples for how to make them work. Designers and devs get paid the big bucks ;) because they use their magnificent intellects to put these things together and make something real that hopefully is usable, useful, and desirable for the people they are building for.
