This forum is for questions about our new diagramming controls for WPF and for Silverlight.
GoXam for WPF, a.k.a. GoWPF, requires .NET 3.5.
GoXam for Silverlight, a.k.a. GoSilverlight, requires Silverlight 4 [edit: earlier versions of Silverlight are no longer supported]
We are pleased to announce the availability of GoXam diagramming controls for WPF and for Silverlight.
For an overview, see GoXam Overview and related pages.
For installation kit downloads, go to Evaluation.
You can run the online demos and read the introductory document at www.GoXam.com.
In case you want to know about the latest bug fix releases for version 1.0, I thought I should post that information here.
25 April 2010: 1.0.8 (this is a very old version – please use the latest, in the last posts of this forum topic)
Version 1.0.8 is available as ZIP files containing only the DLL and release notes.
You’ll need to install the MSI kit first, to get all of the documentation and samples.
For Silverlight:
GoSilverlight 1.0.8 for Visual Studio 2008 and Silverlight 3
For WPF:
GoWPF 1.0.8 for Visual Studio 2008 and WPF 3.5
Changes since v1.0.1:
Fixed bug in GraphLinksModel that did not update the membership of
links in groups when a node changed group membership or was delayed
Version 1.1 is now available, for both WPF and Silverlight, and for both Visual Studio 2008 (.NET 3.5, Silverlight 3) and Visual Studio 2010 (.NET 4, Silverlight 4).
The latest kits are listed on the evaluation page.
Because Visual Studio 2010 supports targeting older platforms, the kits for Visual Studio 2010 include the DLLs for the older versions of the platforms (Silverlight 3 or WPF 3.5).
Major new features include support for Silverlight 4 or .NET Framework 4.0, the GridPattern panel, “DropOnto” behavior, and many new samples.
We have updated www.goxam.com to include online demos for both versions of both platforms. The online help has been updated too.
We’ll be updating our website gradually over the next few weeks.

Version 1.3.2 now supports Silverlight 5 and includes a number of significant new features and improvements. Download kits from our evaluation page.
This version has been superseded by a newer one – see the last post in this topic.
There is only one kit for Silverlight; it is intended for use for Visual Studio 2010. Although it targets Silverlight 5, it also includes another DLL if you are still targeting Silverlight 4. We do recommend upgrading to Silverlight 5 if you can.
There are two kits for WPF: one for Visual Studio 2008 and WPF 3.5, and one for Visual Studio 2010 and WPF 4.0.
Changes since v1.2.6:
Samples
Layouts
Models
Tools, Commands
A complete list of new features is at this post: 1.3 New Features.
The release notes in each kit lists all of the changes, including both new features and bug fixes.
For version 1.3.3 we have created new installation kits. You can download the desired kit from our evaluation page. You’ll need to uninstall any existing installation of version 1.3.*.
Version 1.3.3 includes a number of bug fixes.
Changes since 1.3.2:
Samples
o Fixed missing templates for groups in the Piping sample
Parts
o Fixed bug to allow collapsing/expanding Node subtrees and Group subgraphs by changing the node data Category, thereby replacing the DataTemplate that presumably has the desired values of go:Node.IsTreeExpanded or go:Group.IsSubGraphExpanded
o Fixed visibility of offscreen Links re-created by changing templates
o Fixed orthogonal link jump-overs and jump-gaps when crossing precisely at a link point
o Fixed updating link jump-overs and jump-gaps after moving links without rerouting (because the moved selection effectively included those links)
Controls
o Improved auto-scrolling
o Fixed initial scale for Overview after setting Overview.Observed
Layouts
o Improved stack usage in recursive TreeLayout, to reduce likelihood of stack overflow
For version 1.3.4 we have created new installation kits. You can download the desired kit from our evaluation page. You will need to uninstall any existing installation of version 1.3.*.
Version 1.3.4 includes a few bug fixes and one new feature in GoSilverlight.

Layouts
o Fixed LayeredDigraphLayout routing of Bezier Links connecting to visible Nodes inside nested Groups
