xamPivotGrid - Enhanced! - This release of the Silverlight OLAP pivot grid lets you connect with more data, more easily with support for XMLA with Oracle databases. You can enable the pivot grid to let end users edit the contents of its cells, expand and collapse the data shown in the pivot grid, and limit expansion or contraction of data specifically to the group in which the "+/-" is clicked, rather than all groups within the pivot grid. Columns are now sortable. You can also now customize the data selector display for flat data sources, the definition of calculating rows and columns, and handle an event when a header cell is clicked.
xamDataChart™ Enhanced! - Added these additional types of data series and chart types:

Bubble chart
Polar Scatter series
Polar Spline Area series
Radial Area series
Radial Column series
Radial Line series
Radial Pie series
Radial series

xamPieChart - NEW! - A new Silverlight pie chart control that's visually appealing and extensible. Create simple or exploded pie charts, with a customizable threshold for inclusion in an "Other" category, and text labels and images that can be displayed within or outside of the pie in a manner that avoids overlapping. Users can click or drill down to view underlying data, explode out a section of the pie, and get information via tooltips.
xamBarcodeReader - NEW! - Now you can read and decode barcode images, with support for identifying the following barcode symbologies:

QR Code
EAN/UPC
Code 39
Code 128

xamOrgChart - NEW! - Create high performance, stylable, hierarchical organization charts that represent company, department or workgroup structures and more. Relationships between employees in different departments can be traced, and groups can be expanded or hidden. You can change the orientation of the organization chart, and customize the types of metadata that are displayed and how they are shown.
xamNetworkNode - NEW! - The Network Node Diagram control helps you create visual representations of simple or complex network relationships, similar to a cluster diagram in which each node represents a unique data point related through its connectedness to other data points. End users can easily pan and zoom, and you can customize the types of metadata that are displayed and how they are shown.
Drag and Drop Framework - NEW! - User-friendly drag and drop behaviors are now available with any UI element in your Silverlight Data Visualization application through the DragDropManager. By defining what drop operations are permissible, you can enforce business rules with little to no coding. Throughout each drag operation there is a channel of events to which your application can listen, empowering you to add your own rich touches like animation. Everything about the look and feel of your drag and drop experience is within your control through the Infragistics Drag and Drop Framework for Silverlight Data Visualization.

Make Any UI Element Draggable - You can drag all of your items and drop them onto any targets you define
Channel Concept - By simply associating your drag sources and drop targets with "channels" you can enforce many constraints; items can only be dropped on sources if their channels are compatible
Customizable Cursors - You can customize the appearance of the move, copy and "drop not allowed" cursors that appear during a drag operation
Drop Target Marker - When a suitable drop target is near, Infragistics Drag and Drop Framework draws a stylable, semitransparent marker to indicate this target can accept the item being dragged
Events - Since drag and drop is about an action taking place, there are many events enabling you to tap into all stages of the operation

UI Automation - NEW! - Microsoft's UI Automation accessibility framework enables applications to provide and consume information about user interfaces. Microsoft UI Automation also lets developers build automated test scripts for the UI. Many of the Silverlight Data Visualization controls are now built with support for Microsoft UI Automation for greater accessibility.
