WinForms Map Control and WinForms Sparkline Control

      

In the upcoming release of our WinForms Subscription (13.1), our charting team is going to introduce a couple of new controls...I'd be curious to hear your thoughts and learn how these tools might fit your current development plans.

WinForms Map Control - features will be much like those found in our WPF Map Control (read more here: http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WPF/Map/)

WinForms Sparkline Control - There have been numerous requests for this control. We'll deliver a standalone control which can be used independently and within containers such as the XtraGrid and as a report control within the XtraReports Suite. Here is an example of what a sparkline can look like when used within a grid.

Winforms Map Control - can this render MapInfo Tab files?

If yes then this is a game changer for me as I can finally drop an expensive 3rd party mapping control...

Sounds good, however, will it be able to render Google Maps? Or is it stuck with only Bing maps?

Hi Mark - there is an article in support center about MapInfo Tab files. I appreciate how important it is to you, but the functionality of the WinForms Map Control will be like its WPF counterpart.

We're quite keen to get a map control we can use to show different geographic distributions of information - like how many users there are by continent, country, state..  So this is great!

renejdm - there are certain licensing issues with Google...unfortunately, they are not the easiest bunch to deal with. Our Map can support google's map service...you'd have to use a custom map data provider.

Hi Ray - I saw that article. Hopefully when you get  a chance you can add MapInfo Tab files to both versions.

We have immediate need for both of these.

Good to see DevEx working on *components* vs. the Wizard/Solution stuff that comprised most of 12.2

Sounds like a miracle. Thank you for supporting WinForm. I hope that more news are coming.

Will we be able to plot points polygons and polylines using drawing tools with the control?
