Hi-
I am planning to add a dashboard kind of control to my windows application where once you logon you first view this dashboard.
The dashboard doesnt neccesarily require items like graphs and charts(not more of statistics but the data itself) but it should present all the information required in more user friendly way.
For Example information like workload(of how many documents he has to process) for the user who logged in and also notifications for any emails in inbox.
I want to present this information to be presented to the user in a visually effective way.
Can any one suggest me which controls to use and where can I get some sample code for windows forms.
I am using Infragistics 8.2 version.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Swetha,
There is actually a great example of a "dashboard" style application in the Windows Forms 8.2 samples called "My Finances". It has the type of UI that fits what you have described. Under the Infragistics folder in the Start Menu, go to NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 2 CLR 2.0 -> Experience NetAdvantage for .NET -> Winforms Samples -> click on My Finances under Showcase Samples.
The controls you will use are:
If you are looking at WPF, the xamTrader Showcase sample is also a good example of what you would be after.
Let me know if you need any more information or help on this one,
Thanks
Jason
Hi Jason-
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I am not able to find any Winforms Samples under the folder structure you suggested.
The only options available under Experience NetAdvantage for .NET are
Browse ASP.net samples online and Get the SDK. options.
Is there any way that I can download these samples online?
-Swetha.
It sounds like you do not have the samples installed. If you log back in to the web site from My IG -> Keys & Downloads you will get back to the downloads area. From there, you can select your product and under Documentation & SDK, download the NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol 2 SDK.
Once you install that, you will see the samples from the menu.
Let me know if that does not work out,
Thanks Jason.
I went through the sample you suggested. It's looks wonderful.
