Their flagship product is Dundas Chart, Dundas Gauge and Dundas Map for .NET although they have recently broadened their product line to include support for other [[Microsoft]] technologies by creating Dundas Chart, Dundas Gauge and Dundas Map for [[SQL Server Reporting Services]], Dundas Chart and Dundas Gauge for [[SharePoint]] and most recently the Dundas Chart for .NET - [[Olap]] Services.

A free chart builder is also available. The Chart Builder is a way for non-technical users (e.g., senior managers and graphic artists, etc.) to create charts/templates and then pass the results along to their developers.

Dundas originally developed a suite of .NET-based data visualization components, including Dundas Chart, Dundas Gauge, and Dundas Map, for both ASP.NET and Windows Forms applications. These tools allowed developers to embed advanced charting, gauge, and mapping functionality directly into software. The company later expanded to support SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and was among the first to offer custom visualization components for [[SharePoint]].
