Latest NetAdvantage

With its latest release of NetAdvantage for .NET (2007 Volume 2), Infragistics is expanding its commitment to business intelligence and data visualization, and supporting executive information dashboards by adding gauge controls, search engine optimization, a document export engine and enhanced Excel exporting capabilities to the integrated package.

In both NetAdvantage for ASP.NET and NetAdvantage for Windows Forms, the gauge control supports Radial (Dial) and Linear style gauges, and supports Digital LED-style character displays.

It also includes an Object Model that allows multiple gauges and displays to be composited together into a single display, and includes a styling API that allows for the creation of custom real-world controls. When appropriate, the controls will alter normal output to include HTML markup that enables a Search Engine Crawler to easily see the company’s entire website, helping increase search engine rankings, and website visibility. This feature is available in the ASP.NET toolset.

The Infragistics Document Exporting Engine is a new addition to NetAdvantage for Windows Forms that enables developers to create both standard PDF and XPS documents, and the Windows Forms toolset includes enhanced support for importing images, reading Excel files, and exporting in an Excel format.
