Silverlight Data Visualization - New Features in 2010 Volume 2

Silverlight 4 support

The new Silverlight 4 build of all the controls means you can take advantage of the latest features in Silverlight 4 and .NET Framework 4.

Unified code base

The latest Silverlight controls share namespaces, methods and properties between the newly released WPF Data Visualization controls which makes it easy to write similar WPF applications for the desktop and Silverlight applications for the Web.

NEW! xamPivotGrid

Display data from OLAP servers (such as SQL Server Analysis Services 2008, IEnumerable objects and Excel) in a multi-dimensional grid. The PivotGrid provides interactive filtering and sorting capabilities, enables users to apply powerful calculations to data and is completely customisable in regards to formatting columns and rows.

NEW! xamDataChart

Capable of working with the largest data sets, the xamDataChart is an advanced chart control that can display the most common chart types, including:

• Financial Series (OHLC, Candlestick, and the use of overlay and side-by-side technical and statistical indicators)
• Line
• Area
• Spline
• Scatter
• Column
• Waterfall
• Range (as either Column or Area)
• Step (as either Line or Area)

The charts include advanced axes and legend capabilities, pan-and-zoom functionality and much more.

NEW! xamTreemap

Treemaps (also known as heatmaps) display hierachys proportionally. Display multiple tree levels at once without requiring users to drill-down. 3 different layout mechanisms are supported:

• Slice and Dice - layout of data in alternating horizontal and verticle orientations, without regard to data value
• Squarified - maximizes the aspect ratio of treemap nodes so that they are more readable, at the trade-off of being unordered
• Strip - ordered layout that produces moderately-good aspect ratios

NEW! xamBarcode

Renders a range of different types of barcodes, such as:

• EAN-8/EAN-13
• UPC-A/UPC-E
• Code 128
• Code 39
• Interleaved 2 of 5 (also called ITF-14)
• GS1 DataBar (in a variety of formats)
• Postal Barcodes supported include:- Intelligent Mail, Royal Mail (RM4SCC)
• 2-Dimensional Barcodes supported include:- PDF 417, MaxiCode

Enhanced! xamTimeline

Improvements and optimisations deliver enhanced performance when dealing with larger data sets.

Silverlight Data Visualization - New Features in 2009 Volume 2

xamWebBulletGraph - New Control!

• Bullet graphs are useful for displaying progression or performance for one or more metrics along a scale in a small amount of space
• The bullet graph control is completely customisable - control the frequency of tickmarks, create custom labels and display the graph either horizontally or vertically.

xamWebMap - Enhanced!

• Access and display tile based imagery (aerial photography, street maps etc.) from sources such as Bing Maps, CloudMade and OpenStreetMap. The control will handle any REST requests and retrieve the tile image for coordinates the using is viewing.
• Pull geometric and geographical data from geospatial databases such as SQL Server 2008 and easily add fields to your database and display these fields as datapoints within your Silverlight application

xamWebChart - Enhanced!

• Support for crosshairs in the chart control make it easier for users to identify specific X and Y values on the chart
• The crosshair is fully customisable and can display just a vertical line, a horizontal line, or both which intersect at the position of the mouse pointer. Each line can be independently styled to have the line style (solid, dashed, dotted, etc.), thickness and color you want.

xamWebTimeline - Enhanced!

• Event titles can now be automatically positioned to ensure they do not overlap each other, whilst using the maximum amount of space available
• A new LineStyle property enables the customisation of the line attaching the event on the timeline to the event title

• Achieve rich, advanced data visualisation that leverages the sophisticated capabilities of Silverlight at a very low price. NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization is a comprehensive collection of User Interface Controls to Build Rich Dashboards, Visualise Business Data and Empower Decision Makers. Developers can create high end BI application without writing a lot of code quickly.

• Present data clearly and cleanly. NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualisation gives developers controls that simplify the visual representation of large quantities of information in non-schematic ways.

• Capitalise on the explosive growth of geospatial data in your own Mapping applications. NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization includes the sophisticated mapping of xamWebMap that reads de facto industry-standard shape files (.shp) to present rich geographical information in familiar map form to users and opens the world to them through your applications.

• Embrace Silverlight features for high-end, high performance Web-based data visualisation experiences. NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization controls take maximum advantage of the Silverlight browser plug-in’s capabilities to dynamically react to the user (such as dragging the gauge needle within the browser), off-load what would ordinarily be server-side processing to the client, and minimise client-to-server network traffic leading to greater responsiveness and scalability.

• Create Islands of Richness in existing ASP.NET applications. NetAdvantage for Silverlight Data Visualization controls empower ASP.NET developers to easily embed regions of interactivity and rich styling for normally graphically-demanding data visualizations into existing Web applications or as SharePoint WebParts. Islands of richness enable existing investments in ASP.NET to be incrementally enhanced as needed to Silverlight, where the use of Silverlight delivers the greatest payback such as in data visualization scenarios.
