Graph Display

I`m new to Silver light.

Can any one tell me which control has to to be used to develop graphs in Silverlight? Does silverlight provide any inbuilt control for graph display?

Silverlight doesn't have an inbuilt graph control and I don't know if there's ever gonna be one. There are some great 3rd party controls available though, especially http://www.visifire.com/. Take a look at some examples in their gallery.

Hello, if you mean chart, you can either create your own (which is not very difficult if you're good at math), or use third party components as party42 suggested. If you mean rendering vector graphics, please have a look at this video.

shanaolanxing - I'll transfer to the Windows Azure team, and will have limited time to participate in the Silverlight forum. Apologize if I don't answer your questions in time.

its a make or buy descission I guess, though the software I suggested is free. So yeah, I guess you can do your own coding and refactoring to come up with some graphs or just download their components (open source btw) and get that head start... Smile
