Seeing the current trends and user demands, ComponentOne has recently added a Chart control in Spread for Silverlight and WPF. This feature was in great demand because the Spread control has always been a replica of Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Excel has always had charts. It takes a lot of effort for analysis of data in table format. Hence, Data Visualization can be easily done using the Chart control. Adding a Chart control to ComponentOne Spread for Silverlight/ WPF is very simple and easy. The Chart control is added to a SpreadSheet as a floating object and not as a part of Cell/ Row/ Column objects. So after adding the Chart control to a SpreadSheet you can place it anywhere in the SpreadSheet just with a drag-and-drop operation with the mouse at run time.
