I have been doing alot of research as of late in the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) 2008 visualizations. With the arrival of SSRS 2008 users will now gain out-of-the-box access to the Dundas visualizations platform. If your curious, the initial Dundas press release can be found here. SSRS 2008 (as of the February 2008 CTP - [Community Technology Preview] build) contains both Dundas Gauge and Dundas Chart products. In addition, according to the prior mentioned Dundas press release it states that Dundas Calendar will also be included into SSRS 2008.
This fairly recent Microsoft purchase of the Dundas source code for integration into SSRS 2008 is a great move as the Dundas suite of SSRS add-ons have become the premier choice for such advanced visualization needs. By including the Dundas technologies into SSRS 2008, Reporting Services customers will not only gain access to a much improved Report Server Architecture (without requiring IIS) but also an enhanced Visualization platform. There are literally about three times as many chart types in SSRS 2008 as compared to SSRS 2005. Some of the brand new chart types include the Funnel, Range, Pyramid, and Polar. In addition to the added chart types customers will also gain access to the Dundas Gauge capabilities via a new Gauge Data Region. As of the latest SQL Server 2008 CTP there are two main gauge types: Radial and Linear. Finally, we get a few other ‘goodies’ with the inclusion of the Dundas suite including:
Secondary Axes
Runtime Calculated Series
WYSIWYG Chart Editor (design-time)
