I need to find an open source WPF Gauge Control that I can use in my Rich Client (not for silverlight). Does anyone have any recommendations on one that is open source?

I need to build a WPF dashboard and the client is requesting using Gauges to display data.

This company appears to have a free wpf gauge control:

Also, with the ArcSegment control and the RotateTransform transform, it shouldn't be that awful to roll your own, if the nextwavesoft doesn't meet your needs.

@viggity the NextWave WPF suite is trial-only :( Other links are great though!

Here is a CodeProject page with some circular WPF and Silverlight gauges. They are licensed under the Free BSD license. Good luck!

There is a new WPF Gauge control on codeplex that looks pretty nice: http://wpfgauge.codeplex.com/
