Do you know any way for creating Behaviour flow charts like those used in google analytics?
ie:
I'd like to report the behavior of objects along their lifecycle.
Thanks a lot!
You can try to find existing custom visual that does that, for example here.
If there are none, your only option is to develop your own.
Many PowerBI visuals use D3 engine, so you may have luck in utilising an existing D3 visual, for example this one .

I am trying to create a new project with the new GUI BUilder (I've already made hand-coded project). I watched Steve Hannah's tutorial about creating a sign-in form. If the sign-in form was hand-coded then it would have to use eg a Y-BoxLayout Manager. However in the tutorial everything is laid-out without resorting explicitly to this layout manager what I understand because the designer provides the layout.
But I wonder why new the GUI Builder offers such containers with specific layout managers ? What are the use cases when they should be used, and are they meant to be used as is (as ready-to-use examples) or the designer should remove the components inside with custom ones ?
Thanks in advance for the shed lights ;-)
The current version (3.7.2 and earlier) works best with a flat layout (i.e. not nesting subcontainers). The next release will include improvements that make it easier to work with nested layouts.
There are many reasons why you might want to use a nested layout. A couple of use-cases that come to mind are:
If you're laying out a form that has more than one logical section and you want to be able to lay them out independently. In this case using a couple of sub-containers that both use LayeredLayout themselves can make things a little easier.
If the layout has a nested list (i.e. box-layout-y) that you will populate in code at runtime with content that you load from a web-service, etc..
I plan to make a project where the user can view the selected items real time and rotate them around. I would like anyone experienced to tell me which sort of renderer apps could be used for this? The way I imagine would be that upon a click another windows appears where one can rotate the object around, fully textured and lit.
What I could think of is Marmoset, that has a decent online real time viewer, Unreal Engine - if it's possible, or Unity where I can even use coded .shader files for my materials. Any ideas on which to use and how to achieve the effect I'm after?
Marmoset has a decent viewer that you can integrate to WPF seamlessly by using Mongoose http server and cefsharp (webgl enabled).
My requirement is a build a web form designer in a browser - just like how Zoho Creator (or something similar to other browser based designer tools like proto.io, protoshare, gomockingbird, lucidcharts etc).
Have a tool box/palate on one side, a canvas and a properties box that always shows the properties of the selected control.
I definitely don't think that using JQuery and working with DOM elements will give a scalable solution like these (proto.io, lucidchart etc.). After numerous trials, I feel that AngularJS is the way to go, but it does not have native support for drag-drop and hence I want inputs from community members like you may have more experience with AngularJS on whether what I am setting out to do, is Angularjs the right framework to use for this kind of a solution?
See screens shots of tools like Proto.io - something very similar to what I am setting out to build. Just that my palate will contain form controls like textbox, label etc which I will drag and drop on the canvas instead of the shapes that proto.io has.
Angular is fine. But the main idea of these kind of frameworks like Angular, Dojo, backbone is to structure your application with a specific designed pattern.Hence getting benefit from that pattern. And Angular will help you construct your app into MV* pattern. i may think what you need now is a graph library that support things with canvas , drag-drop , palettes, templates, overview, etc. Some may be useful are JointJS, MxGraph,Draw2D, Data-driven Documents, gojs, mindfusion.
Draw2D supports Angular as well. The lib has a boilerplate app whichs shows
how to use the draw2d stuff in combination with angluar.
The examples shows how to structure your app with Controller, Factories and two way
data binding.
I think you can use the draw2d boilderplate with any other DragDrop lib. It's just
a pattern how to integrate a third party lib into angular.
Angular has many hooks and pattern which supports any kind of lib

I need to find a control that can be used to construct a map.
I'm looking for something where a user can specify a location and then drag markers from a toolbar onto the map. Loading/saving would be a plus
I tried Telertik Map , IG and also Component One but I'm not 100% sure about these products.
You might try hosting Google Maps in WPF; it has a fairly complete API.
Any of the components you listed would definitely get the job done (personally, I prefer Infragistics), but they will be expensive.
Finally, you could head a different direction and try to go open-source. SharpMap might be worth investigation. This question has more details.
There is now a WPF Bing Maps Control

We are looking for a Diagram Control/Component in Silverlight which enables us to create and deploy Network Diagrams. Also with which we should be able to traverse the diagram created, save it as a file (e.g. XML), load it, create custom nodes/controls with simple animation controls etc.
Can anyone let me know of any such component/tools in Silverlight that cater to our specified requirements?
Try Syncfusion Diagram for Silverlight. Check out their demos here
Syncfusion have Diagram Component for Silverlight platform. This control is a common control for Drawing and Creating Diagram with lot of features and it will support Save and Load in many types.
Saving and loading as Xaml file.
Printing also possible.
Please visit the following link for more information.

Please let me know if you have any further clarifications.

Sundar M
If the question is still actual you can try SharpShooter Diagrams of PerpetuumSoft. It supports all the features you've mentioned and more.
You can try NOV Diagram. Check the Silverlight demo here
