SilverLight Organization Chart


There was an Organization Chart in the scope of one of the projects I’m managing, and it came to me the idea to make it in SilverLight the same way in http://svdemo02.ilog.com/SilverlightOrgChart/OrgChart.html


And here are the main points to make it out:

1. Working with Canvas
2. Drawing Lines and Boxes
3. Using ScrollViewer
4. Using Slider (for the scale)
5. Using SilverLight UserControls (the node element with the person information)
6. Reading data from XML files and web services
7. Some Calculations

And isA I’ll describe these main ideas in details during the coming days.

Update: for the source code go to http://silverorgchart.codeplex.com/

Can Its Orientation be Left To Right?

Hi Osama

thanks for posting the source code (think this was sometime in 2010, right?).

I've only just come back to it now and it works great. I've added a WCF service to retrieve the data directly from Active Directory and added a couple of UI updates (search, expand, collapse, scaling). If you'd be interested in any of these updates, please let me know.

Shokran
Scott

I dont use Microsoft products. Is there an alternative organization chart drawing method for net-beans or other opensource software that I can use?
