Key Benefits

• Performance
• • Provides unmatched performance navigating large data sets.
  • Ultra-Responsive interface utilizes multi-core technologies.
  • Smooth transitions zooming in and out of data and scrolling to different points in the chart.
  • Ground-up client side design (the heavy lifting is done client side reducing server load and enhancing scalability).
  • Utilizes multi-core processor technology.
• Usability
• • Provides an innovative user interface.
  • Deep zooming from decades down to milliseconds.
  • Time, numeric, and category scale selection using quick x axis cell selection.
  • Has been put through rigorous usability testing across a range of demographics.
  • Real-time chart sizing.
  • Usable in a SlideShow presentation.
• Programmability
• • Seamlessly utilizes the .netCHARTING API to speed deployment and minimize development.
  • Provide a highly interactive Silverlight chart solution for your clients without any knowledge or editing of Silverlight required.
  • Existing clients can transform most static dotnetCHARTING charts into Silverlight Navigator versions with a single property setting.

How It Works 

.netCHARTING seamlessly handles the complexity of Silverlight deployment, plug-in detection and down-level support so you don't have to. Developers are able to deploy one of the most advanced and innovative Silverlight solutions available utilizing a simple server side API which is already familiar to them. Developers with more advanced requirements are able to access the client side JavaScript API to provide further interactivity between the page and the embedded control. The .netCHARTING Silverlight Navigator is an extremely refined implementation which includes custom UI controls for range selection, automatic transfer of highly compressed data packages client to server and leverages the .netCHARTING data engine to further minimize development on the server side.
