Silverlight Charts and Gauges - Community Tech Preview
An innovative leader in creating user experiences for new, emerging technology, Infragistics recognizes businesses need to visualize data in a useful and interactive way. To that end, Infragistics is pleased to announce plans to release NetAdvantage® for Silverlight Data Visualization. Two of the controls — Chart and Gauge — that will be part of the product are available for download as Community Tech Previews (CTP).
This latest sample of the charting control showcases its powerful presentation capabilities. With chart and gauge controls built for Microsoft's latest Silverlight 2 Beta 2 in this CTP, you will find support for 28 chart types (including area, bar, column, line, spline, scatter, point, pie, doughnut and stack charts). We are providing developers with the tools to design dashboard-driven applications and display data in new, intuitive ways.
Enabling customers to build next generation RIAs with Silverlight is just one way Infragistics can enhance the user experience of workers in every business scenario.

FaceOut - Rich Internet Sales Dashboard
Infragistics' faceOut is an interactive demonstration of some of our NetAdvantage for Silverlight preview controls. Using our charts and gauges, we've created a salesperson dashboard to illustrate how you can build a richer experience on the Web for a real, line-of-business scenario integrating enterprise sales data with Windows Live Maps and the Live Contacts schema. Read the faceOut Overview (PDF) [763 KB] for more information.

FaceOut was built on Microsoft's new Silverlight 2 technology. If you are running Silverlight 1.0, it will require an update, but the update should not affect your ability to use existing 1.0-based sites and applications.

Rich Data Visualization with Silverlight Charts
One of the key ways in which Silverlight advances Web application development will be in data visualization. Infragistics has been working on this, as evidenced by our Silverlight chart control which can fit into any scene and take advantage of the dynamic graphics available to you on the Silverlight 2 platform like perspective and animation. These features emphasize the point of your presentation, going where no rectangular image has been able to go before.
Engaging New Prospects with Silverlight Gauges
With a Silverlight gauge control you can build relevant business scorecard-style applications and rich, informative dashboards leveraging the rich media platform of Silverlight 2. Present users with crystal clear renditions of key performance indicators (KPI) empowering them to make decisions and take action. Cleanly separate design and development tasks with a declarative XAML user interface, allowing development to happen in parallel as designers style the gauge. Astonish your users with the many engaging new possibilities.
Infragistics pushes the envelope of what is possible using the new Silverlight 2 Beta 2 release. By taking advantage of all of its capabilities, we have developed value-added controls for Silverlight 2 that help you drive business value with enhanced user experiences.
