• Importance of Data visualization
• Why add Data Visualization now
• XAML Data visualization controls available

3. Why Data Visualization?
• Over the last 10 years many systems have
accumulated lots of data
• Windows Forms/ASP.NET did not allow
users to interact with data to the same
extent
• However, little of that data is effectively
visualized without the use of expensive BI
systems

4. Why add data visualization now?
• XAML - rich interaction model,
– Allows users to find what they’re looking for in
a visual way, rather than by filtering grids
• XAML – hardware accelerated graphics
• Existing Windows Forms applications can
host WPF data visualization controls to
deliver this capability without any changes
to the existing application

5. But I have a Windows Forms app…
• Existing Windows Forms applications can
host WPF data visualization controls to
deliver this capability without any changes
to the existing application
