Getting started Help Please

I am brand new, again. I need some guidance. I just write code for my own use as a hobby. I want to start by doing a simple x,y axis graph. I downloaded VB2010 express and searched the web for examples. Most are for VB6 which I erased off the computer many years ago.

There are examples for up to vb 2008, but they use the MS Graph tool, which I can not find on my computer in the Com tab when in the toolbox and choosing items.

There is however a Graph tool in the Data section of the toolbox, but I can find no examples or help on how to use that. The properties listed for it are not close to what I find on the web for the MS Graph tool.

Can somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks

It took a bit of doing, but I finally found this:

http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart

That was the page I was looking for but I didn't have a link. I Googled .net chart and it was the third result.

I had downloaded that file earlier, but it is a .csproj file and I can't open it on my computer or with my version of VB 2010. I googled .csproj and found out it is a C # file format.
Thanks

Thanks, that is a good starting point. I am having some problems following the instructions, as I can not find some of the items. I will just keep starting over until I get it all. I was able to make one small graph following the instructions.

My problem with this is that I need to write code that will use the simple distance formula, D=RT; R being fixed on y axis and T being the x axis and incremented by a while x < 5 routine or something similar to that.

Ha, all my coding experience is with getting the answer on the form for a formula. Now I want to "see" the plot. If I learn this one simple thing, I can move into more complex formulas and functions.

Thanks

Thanks, that is what I did. Works great and has sample VB code to boot.
