Hi , I have to design and implement a conning dashboard ( with gauges and level bars,etc..) in WPF.

I have been looking for libraries like Insim , Dundas, MS Chart Controls and now I am a bit confused.All that I found looks a bit old and complex code.

Is there any profesional and modern free library for include Gauges available in Visual Studio Express 2013? I would really appreciate some link , example wich point me into a good one. Otherwise , I also look for advice related to non free libraries.

Thanks!

You're going to have to define what you mean by "good"?

You could also just Google for "WPF Gauges" and start browsing to find what fits your definition.

With good I mean , modern and profesional . As I said I searched , and I didn't found clear solutions . For example , one of the most famous Dundas (bought by MS IN 2007) , looks like it had not been released since 2008. For this reason I am looking for advice , because apparantly there are not free profesional libraries about , and that looks strange for me.

It depends on what do you call "professional" and what "old-fashioned". To me, "professional" should work perfectly and look modest, with fine minimalistic but fully-functional design. Too painted things, fancy imitation of old analog controls, so popular in data acquisition words (even dominating), is the sign of really bad taste and distract from real work, reduce performance.

I understand your point Sergey , but if I have to pay for a library I am assuming it works perfectly. When I mention modern I refer a latest design and easy use , because is that "extra" what should be included in commercial software. I am totally agree with you about "professional" concept.
