PivotViewer Silverlight Control Released

June 30, 2010 06:01 by carlos

PivotViewer, a nice control built by LiveLabs, is now released to the developemnt community.  This control offers a unique way of interacting with large amounts of data on the web.  It is a based on the idea of a collection and it lets you present this data in an informative, powerful way.

 Use Scenarios:

  • Business Intelligence
  • Intranet Navigation
  • Living Info Graphics
  • Academic Research
  • Retail
  • Image Galleries
  • Others, the possibilities are endless

Developer Info: Overview

Collections combine large groups of similar items on the internet, so we can begin viewing the Web as a "web" rather than a series of isolated pages. As a developer, you can create collections of your own. New collections can be created with no code – it’s only data. 

 There is a pretty cool Netflix Demo located here - http://netflixpivot.cloudapp.net

To get started, download the control from http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/pivotviewer/

Hope this helps,

Carlos
