I'm new to Silverlight and i'm looking to create a Chart that contains a 2D shape in his plot area.
At the same time i want it to have a zoom in / zoom out on behavior.

Does Silverlight offer such kind of controls ? If not which one can be suitable in this case.
Thx

Draw a shape with a graduation that i can zoom and and i want to go further and draw a grid overlay (other than the default crosshair of the chart) to capture each cell for localized events (highlight cells, resize them).

Thx for reply.

If I were you than instead of rebuilding, I would buy an existing component or reuse which is already available:

And btw, why still Silverlight and not HTML5?

Why not HTML5? There is one apparent reason: the ease of development and maintainability of Silvelight. Scripting is always harder to debug than compiled code.
