Add Rich Gauges to SharePoint using Silverlight Data Visualization

Visualize your business intelligence within the Microsoft Office® SharePoint Server 2007 (or Windows® SharePoint Services 3.0-based portal) using the rich interactivity and stylability of our radial Silverlight gauge in SharePoint WebPart form. The xamWebRadialGauge™ WebPart is being made available as a Community Technology Preview that you can freely download right now.

As the first of many Silverlight data visualization WebParts that will join the already powerful NetAdvantage® for Silverlight Data Visualization toolset, Infragistics provides you with a turn-key solution for adding rich data visualizations to SharePoint that empower your business’ knowledge workers to make faster and better-informed decisions.
 

Portal developers and end users alike can:

• Hook-up the xamRadialGauge to pull its values from any SharePoint List
• Edit its personalizable properties to tailor its behavior and rich features
• Bind independent columns from a SharePoint List to its Value and Scales
• Automate the SharePoint List to refresh periodically so the gauge updates
• Apply aggregates (average, std. deviation, and more) that add value to business data

By adding the xamWebRadialGauge™ WebPart CTP to your SharePoint catalog you make it possible for knowledge workers and portal developers to un-lock the value of the business data you have in SharePoint all from within your fully personalizable, familiar block-and-tab SharePoint site.

Create Customizable WebParts with NetAdvantage ASP.NET AJAX Controls

Portal developers who prefer ASP.NET can add rich functionality to their SharePoint® sites using the Infragistics ASP.NET AJAX controls. You leverage everything you have invested in SharePoint as your collaborative portal framework, and can still present knowledge workers with rich business intelligence organized through a set of highly-functional WebParts wrapping our ASP.NET grids, charts, gauges and more. We have a detailed article on “Building WebParts with NetAdvantage for Web Client - ASP.NET controls” showing how to create custom WebParts from our WebGauge™ and WebGrid™ controls.
