Silverlight Charts Are Now Available with the Silverlight Toolkit!

Today, at PDC, the release of the Silverlight toolkit was made available.  Included in this release, is a preview version of a charting control that was produced as a collaborative effort between the Silverlight controls and SQL Server Reporting Services team. 

This initial release includes support for the following chart types:

• Bar
• Line
• Pie
• Column
• Scatter

In addition to these series types, the chart supports a few types of animations, but it also can update based on changes in the underlying data if the chart is attached to an ObservableCollection-based data source.  The chart also supports the templating capabilities present in Silverlight.
