[RESOLVED] VB Chart Controls

[Charlie20]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a WinForms project using .NET v3.5 due to limitations imposed by a 3rd party API that I have to use.

For the project I have to include some graphs however I've no budget (surprise, surprise) to purchase 3rd party controls & the graph controls within .NET v3.5 dont have that elusive "wow" factor that I'm looking for.

The chart controls in .NET v4 (MS version of the Dundas controls) are just what I'm looking for but I unfortunately cant use them as the 3rd party API won't work in v4 & there are no plans to have it upgraded to v4 compatable anytime soon

Does anyone have a pointer to any good (& free) chart controls that I could use ??

Thanks

You don't have to have .Net Framework 4, the chart control will work with .Net Framework 2, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd456632.aspx

I did notice an issue of using the control when the app was developed on 3.5 and then ran on a machine with 4. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd990785.aspx

But I have developed app using the chart control in VB 2005 that target .Net 2 and installed them on machines with .Net 3.5 and have not had a problem.

Do you need a point chart, specifically? I have an extensible one in my signature built for 2.0. If not, disregard this post

Thanks everyone.

Eventually landed up using the Build Target options to get this to work
