Original Press Release:
ILOG Launches Industry-First ILOG Diagrammer for .NET
First Diagram Display Graphics Toolkit with Multiple Deployment Options and Ajax Support
PARIS and SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 10 /-- ILOG(R) (NASDAQ:ILOG)(NASDAQ:Euronext:)(NASDAQ:ILO)(NASDAQ:ISIN:)(NASDAQ:FR0004042364) today announced the availability of ILOG Diagrammer for .NET(R), the industry's first graphics toolkit for creating sophisticated and visually-rich diagrams for the .NET platform. With ILOG Diagrammer for .NET, developers can quickly and easily configure and integrate sophisticated diagram and dashboard displays into their Windows Forms (desktop) and Web Forms applications -- making it the first offering to cover multiple deployment options in a single product. It is also the first .NET diagramming product to support the easy creation of Web interfaces using ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX controls recently introduced by Microsoft.
ILOG Diagrammer for .NET is ideally suited to represent diagram and dashboard displays, which include networks, processes, flows, organization charts, and Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, as well as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), process control, and executive cockpit dashboard displays. It was designed from the ground up for the .NET platform. Because it is tightly integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005(TM), developers do not have to leave their familiar development environment to generate code, and can access the dedicated designers, toolboxes and wizards, and the on-line documentation in the new product without having to learn another tool or language.
In the meantime, the new industry-first ASP.NET Ajax technology support includes a list of controls to visualize and edit diagrams in Web applications, and to manage smooth refreshes when zooming, panning or interacting with the user interface.
Other Key Features of the product include:
-- Advanced Graph Layout algorithms.
Built-in algorithms for supporting Business Processes, Workflows or Dataflows, UML schemas, computer networks, knowledge based systems, and organizational charts. Automatic layout techniques, provided by ILOG Diagrammer for .NET, are used to make complex information easily readable and understandable by business users, and include families of popular placement algorithms, such as hierarchical, tree, radial tree, force directed, grid and link layouts.
-- Pre-built diagram editing tools.
ILOG Diagrammer for .NET is shipped with three complete graphical editing tools for developers who want to build modeling tools: the UML Class Diagram Editor, the Business Process Modeling notation (BPMN) Editor, and the generic Diagram Designer. They can be used as starting points for more sophisticated, custom modeling tools. They are shipped with documented source code and are designed to be customized and extended for delivery to end users.
ILOG Diagrammer for .NET is available immediately, packaged as a full-featured software development kit (SDK) with ready-to-use graphical symbols and samples. Written entirely in C#, it can be accessed from any of the .NET platform languages (such as C# or Visual Basic). For more information, please visit http://www.ilog.com/products/diagrammernet.
