NetAdvantage for Silverlight is a comprehensive collection of user interface controls to build rich dashboards, visualize business data and empower decision makers. Developers can quickly create high-end BI applications without writing a lot of code. You can present data clearly and cleanly. NetAdvantage for Silverlight gives developers controls that simplify the visual representation of large quantities of information in non-schematic ways.
NetAdvantage for Silverlight 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 visualization experiences - NetAdvantage for Silverlight 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 minimize client-to-server network traffic leading to greater responsiveness and scalability.
Create “Islands of Richness” in existing ASP.NET applications - NetAdvantage for Silverlight 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 incrementally enhanced Silverlight as needed, where the use of Silverlight delivers the greatest payback such as in data visualization scenarios.
Infragistics xamWebMap - Present end users with your business intelligence data in rich and interactive maps featuring panning, zooming, mouseover effects and tooltips.
Modularly constructed around the following key components:
- Map Layer(s)
- Navigational Pane(s)
- Color Swatch Pane(s)
- Scale Pane(s)
Reads maps in the de facto industry-standard shape file (.shp) format. Displays shapefiles that are polygon, polyline or point-based, and allows programmatic customization of what is displayed to the end user.
Infragistics xamWebChart - Rich data visualization can fit into any scene, SharePoint WebPart or legacy ASP.NET application (as an island of richness) with this stylable Silverlight control that supports animation, storyboards, data binding and 28 chart types.
Infragistics xamWebGauge- Create highly interactive, high performance business scorecards and information dashboards using the xamWebGauge’s astonishing designability and client-side interactivity.
Infragistics xamWebTimeline - Enable users to quickly understand and visualize a sequence of events. These events may be historical events, steps in the narrative of some business process or workflow, project milestones, key frames in a video being edited, or a representation of any time-series data. Users can select elements in the timeline to display a greater level of detail about that timeline element.
Infragistics xamWebZoombar - The zoom bar plugs into other Silverlight controls – like the chart, map or timeline – to provide an intuitive user interface for dynamically scaling and scrolling an associated control’s view of data. It is the ideal user interface element for use when your users need to zoom-in or zoom-out of your data visualizations.
NetAdvantage for Silverlight Line of Business includes:
xamWebGrid - xamWebGrid is a hierarchical data grid control for presenting tabular information to your users with the ability to show master/detail relationships between records, multi-column sorting, cell-editing and virtual load-on-demand for high performance that scales with the size of your data.
xamWebTree - Trees with their branching and nesting have a direct impact on everyday computing, whether it is at the depth of abstract data structures or as a phenomenal user interface when it comes to navigating information that naturally lends itself to being modeled in parent-child fashion. What xamWebTree does for Silverlight LOB applications is it binds to the hierarchical data you supply and provides rich features that include node-templates, checkboxes, hot-tracking and virtual load-on-demand.
xamWebChart – includes common, everyday chart types made easy for common, everyday business applications. These rich chart types will include:
Support for animation, selection of chart elements, multiple X & Y axes, tooltips and custom legends will be built-in.
xamWebOutlookBar - This navigation control supports the look and feel found in the navigational bar in the popular Microsoft Outlook 2007 application. Its many features include docking and fly-out, adding excitement to the experience you can deliver to your users.
xamWebDialogWindow - Designed to replicate the functionality of a traditional, standard Windows Forms dialog window, the xamWebDialogWindow allows you to popup both modal and non-modal dialog windows within your Web-based Silverlight applications easily. Its flexible XAML templating and styling capabilities combined with programmable dialog behaviors such as minimize, maximize, restore and close, enable you to add the dialog window and Multiple Document Interface (MDI) user interface patterns to any Rich Internet Application.
xamWebEditors - The xamWebNumericEditor simplifies the entry and editing of numeric data to any number of decimal places, and confined to any range with programmable upper and lower bounds that reduce erroneous user input. With its spin buttons, end-users may serially increment or decrement the editor's value by an arbitrary amount. When your Silverlight application calls for formatted or text data with more stringent constraints, the introduction of the xamWebMaskedEditor couldn't be more timely. Its input mask support helps end-users fill-in the editor's value, intuitively matching the format your application requires.
Infragistics.Excel - Bring the portability of workbook files in Microsoft Excel compatible file format (.XLS) to your next Rich Internet Application with the Infragistics.Excel class library for Silverlight 3. Now you can build data-driven, Web-based solutions on top of the Workbook and Worksheet object model all within the client's browser and with high-fidelity in Silverlight.
xamWebMenu - Create multi-level menus that popup, dropdown and nest using the xamWebMenu control for Silverlight. Submenus slide open and close with smooth, graceful animation. Any hierarchy of commands or options can be databound against and used to present horizontal or vertical menus, with customizable menu items that can involve pictures, checkboxes and more.
xamWebSpellChecker - As a UI control, the xamWebSpellChecker's completely customizable dialog provides a spelling correction user interface to the end user. Multi-Lingual - This Silverlight spell checker speaks nine languages and dialects:
- Dutch
- English (American, Australian, British and Canadian)
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Portuguese
xamWebTagCloud - Choose key words or phrases ("tags") and you can weight them by their frequency of occurence, importance, or any other scoring algorithm you devise and the tag cloud control will display them. Tags deemed most important stand out with a heavyweight font size greater than their peers, while little-used tags appear diminuitive in size. Users will have no trouble identifying what the most prevalent tags are when you're using xamWebTagCloud to show them.
xamWebTileView - An animated panel, which contains a set of content panes, each displaying rich information. The tile view supports a high-fidelity browsing experience featuring drag-and-drop rearrangement of its tiles, minimizing and maximizing tiles so that your users can put them aside or drill down deeply for more information, and paging that allows for browsing large numbers of tiles. Like everything in Silverlight, you can apply transforms and ebullient styling through templates to both the tile view and its tiles that make for rich interactive user experiences.
