Exploring Time and Space with Infragistics

Jason Beres takes us on a journey through time and space using the new Timeline, Map and Zoombar controls from Infragistics.

The Timeline and Zoombar make an interesting pair when combined with two sets of historical data. I also like the point Jason makes about how this all done with client-side Silverlight, so the response time is really quick without a page refresh.
