PRINCETON, N.J. and ELSTREE, England, July 16 -- Infragistics, the world leader in presentation layer development tools, announced today Infragistics NetAdvantage for .NET 2007 Volume 2.

New Features to the Suite include:
Gauge Control: In both NetAdvantage for ASP.NET and NetAdvantage for Windows Forms, the gauge control supports Radial (Dial) and Linear style gauges and supports Digital LED-style character displays. It also includes a flexible Object Model that allows multiple gauges and displays to be composited together into a single display, and includes a rich styling API that allows for the creation of highly-styled, real-world controls.
Search Engine Optimization: When appropriate, the controls will alter normal output to include HTML markup that enables Search Engine Crawler to easily see the company's entire website, helping increase search engine rankings, and website visibility. This feature is available in the ASP.NET toolset.
Document Export Engine: The Infragistics Document Exporting Engine is a new addition to NetAdvantage for Windows Forms that enables developers to create both standard PDF and XPS documents. This engine gives developers the power to create and easily design full-fledged reports.
Enhanced Excel Exporting: The Windows Forms toolset includes enhanced functionality support for importing images, reading of Excel files, and improving the depth of the control developers have when exporting in an Excel format.
