Arction Gauges

Arction Gauges is a Microsoft Visual Studio add-on that enables you to use several configurable radial gauges in your applications. The package includes components for both WPF and Silverlight, and detailed deployment instructions are provided.

If you want to get a good idea of how these gauges can help you and what their main features are, you can run the included demo applications. Their source code is also provided, so you can view helpful code examples.

There are several configurable dials and scales per gauge, and their colors and fonts can also be altered. The dials show the current data value, while the numeric display depicts the value as text.

The gauges can be used by developers to enhance numerous applications, as they can show the speed of a vehicle, the time, changes in pressure systems, the current temperature and more.

Before attempting to install these components, you should, of course, ensure your computer meets the listed requirements. It is important to note that these requirements are different for WPF and Silverlight.

However, Microsoft Visual Studio is required in both cases, as well as .NET Framework. If you are using Silverlight, you should also make sure a Silverlight-capable browser is available, and that the necessary plug-in is installed.

Naturally, any developer attempting to implement these components is expected to have previous experience with Visual Studio, as well as some basic programming knowledge. The included documentation is more than adequate, however, so even users who are relatively new to the field should be able to get the hang of things quickly enough.
