I need to find an open source WPF Gauge Control that I can use in my Rich Client (not for silverlight). Does anyone have any recommendations on one that is open source?

I need to build a WPF dashboard and the client is requesting using Gauges to display data.

Answer 1

Try this: http://dashboarding.codeplex.com/

Answer 2

Here is a CodeProject page with some circular WPF and Silverlight gauges. They are licensed under the Free BSD license. Good luck!

Answer 3

Unfortunately, wpfgauge at codeplex uses LGPL license, which makes it unfriendly to businesses that do not wish to release their source code.

dashboarding at codeplex seems nice, but it uses a non-standard way of doing UserControl: There is a control hierarchy deriving from UserControl, so Visual Studio doesn't know how to display controls in the designer. They work at run-time, but it is hard to tweak them in Visual Studio.

Answer 4

There is a new WPF Gauge control on codeplex that looks pretty nice: http://wpfgauge.codeplex.com/

Answer 5

Also, with the ArcSegment control and the RotateTransform transform, it shouldn't be that awful to roll your own
