ILOG Diagrammer for .NET supports Windows Forms, Web Forms, AJAX

Software maker ILOG has released ILOG Diagrammer for .NET. The company, which edged into the .NET space a couple of years ago with ILOG Gantt for .NET thus furthers its foray into Microsoft development, going beyond the Java space in which it has offered SDKs and advanced components for some time.

ILOG Diagrammer for .NET lets developers configure and integrate sophisticated diagram and dashboard display components into their Windows Forms desktop and Web Forms applications. It also supports creation of Web interfaces using ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX controls recently introduced by Microsoft. The software joins a growing collection of components that are intended to better enable the visualization of data, especially in such applications as Business Intelligence [BI] and what is sometimes called Business Activity Monitoring [BAM].

With this kit, “people can create very custom graphics,” said Ed Kiraly, ILOG Visualization product manager. “They represent your world. But they are more than just text based. You can animate them.”

In effect, said Kiraly such animated components are ‘data aware.’ As he puts it: “They will change based on the underlying data.” Developers can use ILOG Diagrammer working as a plug-in within Visual Studio to program individual components to alter state as underlying parameters change. The developer can program controls to act as alerts – to, for example, turn red when certain conditions are met.

“We can deploy to the desktop with Winforms, or, using Microsoft’s AJAX extensions, we can deploy to a thin client as well,” said Kiraly.

He said the ILOG software includes advanced graph layout algorithms for supporting Business Processes, Workflows or Dataflows, UML schemas, computer networks, knowledge based systems, and organizational charts. Included as well are sets of hierarchical, tree, radial tree, force-directed, grid and link layout placement algorithms.
