FaceOut - Rich Internet Sales Dashboard
Infragistics' faceOut is an interactive demonstration of some of our NetAdvantage for Silverlight preview controls. Using our charts and gauges, we've created a salesperson dashboard to illustrate how you can build a richer experience on the Web for a real, line-of-business scenario integrating enterprise sales data with Windows Live Maps and the Live Contacts schema. Read the faceOut Overview (PDF) [763 KB] for more information.
Experience faceOut Now
FaceOut was built on Microsoft's new Silverlight 2 technology. If you are running Silverlight 1.0, it will require an update, but the update should not affect your ability to use existing 1.0-based sites and applications.

Rich Data Visualization with Silverlight Charts
One of the key ways in which Silverlight advances Web application development will be in data visualization. Infragistics has been working on this, as evidenced by our Silverlight chart control which can fit into any scene and take advantage of the dynamic graphics available to you on the Silverlight 2 platform like perspective and animation. These features emphasize the point of your presentation, going where no rectangular image has been able to go before.
We support 28 chart types in this Community Technology Preview (CTP) including area, bar, column, line, spline, scatter, point, pie, doughnut and stack charts. We continue to build out our library of charts to multiply the possibilities for your line of business applications to drive meaning to the bottom line with rich data visualization.
Engaging New Prospects with Silverlight Gauges
With a Silverlight gauge control you can build relevant business scorecard-style applications and rich, informative dashboards leveraging the rich media platform of Silverlight 2. Present users with crystal clear renditions of key performance indicators (KPI) empowering them to make decisions and take action. Cleanly separate design and development tasks with a declarative XAML user interface, allowing development to happen in parallel as designers style the gauge. Astonish your users with the many engaging new possibilities.
Infragistics pushes the envelope of what is possible using the new Silverlight 2 Beta 2 release. By taking advantage of all of its capabilities, we have developed value-added controls for Silverlight 2 that help you drive business value with enhanced user experiences.
We Wrote The Book
With an abundance of knowledge and experience in Silverlight, Web Development and Visual Design, it's no wonder four of our stars got together to pen such a fine Silverlight 1.0 book published by Wrox. Now you have the opportunity to share in some of their Silverlight design and development secrets, as the book has done a masterful job of explaining how to work with Silverlight 1.0, from scripting the control host to declaring your user interface in XAML to using the features of Microsoft® Expression Blend™ 2.0 to make more compelling user experiences. It's a veritable grimoire of knowledge that will put the next generation of Rich Interactive Applications (RIAs) at your fingertips.
From rich data visualizations to high fidelity presentation, from relevant controls to smooth interoperability, we're working to ensure that you receive tremendous business value out of the Silverlight platform.
