As Silverlight’s future seems to be quite unsure, does anybody know if the PivotViewer control will still be maintained and updated?
I wish to develop an application based on this amazing control but I am not confident whether it will be maintained or not.
Is there any HTML5 initiative for developing such data visualization behavior?
Thanks.
The short answer is that Silverlight as a whole will be “maintained and updated” for years.
There is so much talk of the death of Silverlight, but it and XAML are still top-tier Microsoft technologies. Nothing should stop you using the PivotViewer control and Silverlight in your application. If, in several years you’re still working on the same thing and you feel support is lacking, cross that bridge then and reassess this decision.
