MS Chart
Hi there, folks!... One thing I had just discovered in VB6 was the MS Chart ActiveX control and I was just starting to like it, when I migrated to VB 2008. I was looking for some upgrade of MS Chart or some similar control, but couldn't find it...is there anything like it?
Thanks =)

Re: MS Chart
Microsoft doesn't provide any charting functionality in the .NET Framework but you might like to try ZedGraph, which is a well-regarded, free, third-party .NET charting component.

Hey,
That is not quite strictly true, if you are using .Net Framework 3.5, then you can use these:

They are based on the Dundas chart controls.
You can find some example here:

Re: MS Chart
Yeah, I came across it a while back. I "think" I am right in saying that it will ship along with VS 2010, but for now, it is an add on pack.
I have had a quick play with them, and they are very full featured!!

You'll probably need the VS integration package too.

The page Gary linked to does provide that link but I thought it might be overlooked.

Re: MS Chart
Hey,
Just found a couple of articles on Code Project about the Microsoft Chart Control so thought I would post them here for reference:

Hope that gives you some ideas.

You can add any componets you like to the Toolbox manually by either right-clicking the Toolbox or using the Tools menu.

Re: MS Chart
Thanks. I am doing a line graph and I would like to know:
1) How do I change the X and Y axis
2) How I can add information into it.
Thanks in advance

The download page for the chart control provides a link to the download page for the documentation. Have you downloaded that documentation and read it?

Re: MS Chart
Hey,
In addition to reading the documentation that jm has pointed you to, there is also a set of sample applications that use the .Net Chart controls, have you had a look at them?
