Visifire Charting and Reporting within Sharepoint
// July 29th, 2008 // Uncategorized
I recently read about the new Silverlight Charting capabilities by Visifire. This provides a much needed solution for Sharepoint and reporting from Lists of data, a department in which Sharepoint seems to lack slightly. The charts come in all shapes and sizes and can be designed using the sites handy designer tool located here. I suggest you go over and demo some its capability!
I suppose the drawback at the moment would be the mandatory use of Sharepoint Designer, creating dataviews appropriate for the data and linking in all the xaml files etc. This process is covered by the Sharepoint Designer blog located here.
At that’s left to do is to package this as a webpart, perhaps the handy designer tool included and be able to link your charts to custom lists. This could prove to be a welcome addition to growing list of custom features over on Codeplex.
