Live data enhances the user experience by providing immediate feedback and insight, improving decision-making and performance in applications that require constant data monitoring and analysis.

Several .NET 8 WPF chart controls support live data including:

  • DevExpress WPF Chart (part of DevExpress WPF) allows you to visualize real-time data streams with smooth updates, ideal for interactive monitoring applications.
  • ComponentOne Charts for WPF (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF) facilitates live data charting with automatic updates, enabling real-time analysis in WPF applications.
  • Telerik WPF Chart (part of Telerik UI for WPF) enables dynamic visualization of live data, providing fluid updates for continuous real-time insights in user interfaces.
  • ProEssentials by GigaSoft lets you integrate real-time data charting with high performance, ensuring reliable and continuous data visualization in demanding applications.

Spread.NET v17.2 讓使用者能夠在儲存格中調整、填充或自訂圖像位置，從而使試算表顯示靈活、精確。

Spread.NET by MESCIUS is a powerful tool for building Excel-like applications in your .NET projects. It lets you create interactive spreadsheets, grids, dashboards, and even forms within WinForms, ASP.NET, and WPF applications. With its rich feature set, including a robust calculation engine, formula support, and Excel compatibility, Spread.NET empowers developers to build data analysis tools, budgeting apps, scientific dashboards, and more, all within the familiar .NET environment.

The Spread.NET v17.2 release introduces greater cell image versatility and customization. With four new distinct sizing options—Fit, Fill, Original, and Custom—users gain precise control over how images are displayed within cells. The Fit mode maintains the image's aspect ratio while ensuring it fits within the cell, preventing distortion. The Fill option covers the entire cell, disregarding the aspect ratio for full coverage. Original preserves the image's natural size, even if it exceeds the cell's dimensions, while Custom allows users to set specific height and width parameters. These flexible sizing options enhance the presentation of images, offering tailored solutions to fit various content needs, whether it’s for data visualization, design, or reporting purposes. This feature significantly improves visual control, ensuring consistency and a professional appearance across documents.
