As part of the project i am working on I am looking to produce some software that works on a LCD display (think call center info boards) and displays various graphs (the bars grow etc in realtime, so incoming call stats etc etc) and flicks between various 'plug-ins'. The problem is deciding what language to use.. I am thinking about using the XNA framework, as this will allow me to do some nice 3d effects, add a nice glow effect, play videos etc. I can have for example the company logo defused spinning slowly behind the current data display. I know however, the XNA framework is a bit left field for this. Or is there a better alternative? Thanks..

Our company did a similar thing using WPF in .NET 3.5. The developer who worked on it said he'd never have been able to do it in Windows Forms.

AFAIK everything you mentioned is possibly in WPF, I think your choise will mostly depend on what you favour of working in, and are capable off.

I can code in (im a developer) Java, C, and some C# (xna from messing about at home).. or maybe silverlight may do the job.. I will have a look at WPF. - thanks
