Dundas Chart for .NET Version 6.2 Features Now in Beta
User Interface Localization Support
Version 6.2 of Dundas Chart for .NET (Enterprise Edition) gives developers the ability to localize the User Interface elements of Dundas Chart for .NET using an external XML file.
Custom Chart Type Support
The latest iteration of Dundas Chart includes support for 37 different chart types, excluding the various add-ons that are available. Version 6.2 of Dundas Chart for .NET gives developers the power to make entirely new chart types and use them within Dundas Chart just like any of the ones we have created. This ensures that no matter what kind of new visualizations appear from dashboard theorists going forward, we will always have the ability to support you.
Chart Builder v3.0
Chart Builder 3.0 expands upon an already rich set of tools to make chart creation even easier! With the latest version, you can connect to more data sources, style charts quicker, generate more proof-of-concept data and even utilize custom chart types. The Chart Builder is also an excellent debugging tool.
Introducing Column Plus
Building upon the ability to create custom chart types, Dundas has created a new version of our much-acclaimed column chart that gives you far more flexibility from a graphics perspective. This new chart type is all about flare - letting you saturate existing colors in order to give a much richer look - and it even boasts 15 new drawing styles!
Dundas Chart for .NET Version 6.1 Features Released January 28th, 2008

You can now utilize the next generation of Microsoft technology! Dundas is proud to offer one of the first controls optimized for Visual Studio 2008.
New Rose Chart Styles
Two new Rose Chart types have been added: Stacked and Radial Gap. Both requested by Dundas customers, Stacked allows you to display one set of data atop another for a more versatile Rose Chart. The Radial Gap offers the option of providing a hole in the center of the Rose Chart - a subtle change, but it offers a similar visual difference in the way a Pie Chart can become a Doughnut Chart.
Vertical Column Labels
A new attribute for 2D column charts, labels can now be painted vertically inside the column, adding greater flexibility when considering labels.
Data Point Label Offset Attribute
With Chart 6.1, you can now customize the exact offset of the data point to the label. It's just another way for Dundas Chart to ensure you have the exact look you want.
Server Scroll Events For AJAX (Web Only)
Developers can now handle chart scroll events on the server side, since the server now intelligently manages AJAX requests. This optimizes the user experience by providing more responsiveness and more bandwidth efficiency. It also better utilizes server resources.
Custom Data Point Palette Property
Custom colors can now be applied for each point individually, giving your charts more visual power and versatility.
