RadarCube WPF 1.00.0 (August 4, 2010):

We are glad to represent our new product - RadarCube WPF. RadarCube is already well-known and loved for its power and flexibility when working with OLAP cubes. Now all this comes to WPF platform, and it gives even more power compared to RadarCube Windows Forms.

First of all it works on WPF 4, using all the features of the platform, like parallel computing, fast rendering, etc. Advanced WPF visualization allows to render any WPF content the grid's cells - this is exactly what you always want to do. RadarCube WPF also supports grid paging, just like RadarCube ASP.NET, and it surely makes RadarCube WPF several times faster than its Windows Forms counterpart.
