Extending Umbraco Contour for encrypt/decrypt of data - encryption

I need to encrypt data coming from a set of Contour forms, which i believe i can do by implementing a custom workflow http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Developer/Extending-Contour/Adding-a-Workflowtype
I would then like to use the "Entries" data grid in Contour to show the data that has been submitted in the Umbraco Back office, is there a workflow i can implement to do this? Or an interface i need to implement that Contour will execute before the data is rendered?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

There is a potential answer here, using a custom workflow and adding the decrypt logic to the XSLT in the Contour package that transforms the entries back into the back office.

Can I do data visualization with Drupal?

Basically i want it to import data from a SQL database and Display it as graphs. Having said that i also want it to be dynamic,responsive as in the users should have filtering options. Any leads would be definitely helpful.
Please note that i am just a beginner with drupal.
Yes, But I recommend you to work on your own framework. Or even you can use some data visualization framework
Maybe this one is useful for you if you want to do it on your own:

Why do you need Drupal for that?
I would make some PHP script which would read SQL and generate image out of that data, by using GD or ImageMagic lib. I guess you know that PHP can shoot out image file header and dynamically generate image, on fly. That PHP script could also read filter parameters to have influence on generated image.

Line graph in ASP.NET using Datasource

I am somewhat a beginner in ASP.NET (C#), and I would like to know if it is feasible to draw a line chart of a time-series using data from a SQL table (SQL Server).
I haven't found any control that allows for a drawing of a time-series (i.e. Time as X-axis variable).
Also, I would like for the user to be able to hover over the chart and see data, as demonstrated in the following link:

Could anyone please enlighten me as to what is the best way to achieve such a result?
Thank you!
You have quite a few options, Reporting Services provides all sorts of graph and charting mechanisms. A personal favourite of mine is JQPlot. The bonus of the latter is that it's free!
Have you tried the Microsoft Chart controls.
have a look at ScottGU Blog here
I have used it and it works really well. The best part is that itès free ;)

How to display data as 3D bars/stories on Map using asp.net?

I am a beginner in ASP.NET.I am researching on 3D data visualisation on Google Maps using ASP.NET. I have integrated the map with web site. Now, I have to show data as bars/stories on the map. More like the Microsoft's Geoflow. Please, guide me. I want to know the pre-requisites(tools etc) and possible procedure to implement the concept.
i never worked with these but u can still try the 3D programming libraries

How do I create a Treemap and depict it through flex?

So basically what I'm trying to do is make something like this:
http://store.kapit.biz/demo/treemap/prod/index.html#
I've searched long and hard to find a site that would show me some pseudocode (at least) or an algorithm as to how to implement this type of application. But everything I find are only applications that take in data and do all the work for me to create the graph. I need to actually create it for myself, just a simple one for now. Does anyone know where I can find this? What I want it to do is take data from a database and use it to create the treemap, then express it in a GUI like in the link above. If any specifics are needed I can provide it. I'm trying to do this in Flash Builder using Flex and using ColdFusion as the backend. Thanks!

Axiis is a open source library based on Degrafa that enables you to make complex data visualizations.

Does anyone know how to create a interactive graphs using flare or other visualisation classes?

Does anyone know of software or flex/flash/as3 source or visualisation software that could be used to make interactive graphs, where the user would enter a query that would pull data from a MySQL database and the user would build a sunburst or icicle graph by dragging and dropping items into a tree-like structure and they would be able to view the graph? i have attempted to use flare but my programming skills are pretty bad. So far from what i gather, flare only allows the graphing of defined datasets rather than allowing a user to modify the dataset and thus creating a new dataset.
Help?
This is far too big for the scope of a single question. You're going to need to write at least a few different pieces.
1.) Access to the database and a way to view datasets
2.) Control handlers to drag and drop datasets onto your chart object
3.) A chart object that can handle receiving dropped dataset items and render itself accordingly.
There are lots of good charting frameworks out there including Flare, Axiis, Flex charting, Fusion Charts, iLog Elixir. I'm not sure what you're trying to do but any one of those should be able to serve as your charting piece.
We worked on a project that used Flare and Flex. We had to provide the data to Flare in an XML format called GraphML, so we had code to convert the data into the required format in our C# backend, and then we passed it to Flex. There were naff all tutorials for it though, so took some time to figure it out.
There is a properly cool graphing tool (although its commercial) called Kapit. Check out their Diagrammer and Visualizer demos. It could be the case that its worth the spend.
But I agree with Mr Owen, theres some mad scope in that question:)
