Samples Environment for Microsoft Chart Controls

Thank you so much, its rocks !!
Hello from France ;)

This is awesome! Is there a version of these samples in Visual Basic?

Nevermind. I found the Visual Basic code in the samples on a separate tab. Thanks!

Is there an online version of the samples?

Man, I am just flattened by the most impressive examples of charting controls that you put out. WOW!

Any chance you could do a Radial Chart control. Like in a CAR speedometer?

Gauges is another visualization our team would like to add. We do not have the exact time line when this is going to happen.

The entire api look almost the same as dundas charts, what's the deal with that?

I am feeleing very dense. I can not find the VB code in the Samples as bypan6 evidently did. Can you tell me where?

Dundas Visualization IP was acquired by Microsoft. Check out this post: http://blogs.msdn.com/alexgor/archive/2008/11/07/microsoft-chart-control-vs-dundas-chart-control.aspx

That explains alot, thank's Alex :)

This is simply wonderful! thanks

This is wonderful! thanks

It's incredible!

Es ist unglaublich, was mann mit der .Net Technologie alles mögliche machen kann. Mann haette sich das in vor Jahren wirklich nicht denken können, dass mann soweit kommen könnte.

So I pulled up the VB source for one of the examples and gave it a try. No errors and no chart. How about a meaningful how to get started and work with the charts document instead of the vague and worthless garbage provided? An actual tutorial would be nice and maybe something covering common errors and issues and how to solve them.

You can find a getting started tutorial right here: http://weblogs.asp.net/dwahlin/archive/2008/11/25/getting-started-with-the-asp-net-3-5-chart-control.aspx.

That's great! I don't need any third party chart control any more!
Thanks!

Can I use these assemblies in VS 2003? Or is there a .NET 1.1 version compatible MS Chart available?

MS Chart only supported for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

Alex.

Alex ... how do I create tooltips that display the charted values when you hover over a column or bar? The included sample code is useless, it just shows how to display the data point index, but not the actual data values. Thanks.

Please post all chart related questions on the dedicated forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSWinWebChart/threads/

You don't support Scroll,
Regarding Financial Chart it is worst. We have to do all work for it. ChartFX7 was better than u. It was mistake from my superior to move to Microsoft chart Contol. Plz work to improve on chart.

Hi. Will this control work on a shared hosting server without access to the GAC? i.e. Will I be able to simply add the .dll to my web application's bin directory for it to work?

Great Stuff!!!
Hello from Pakistan

Hi VineetNair, the Windows Forms version of the Chart control supports scrolling and zooming. Please try it out in the Windows Forms samples.

hi, I am using MS Chart Control for .Net Framework 3.5. in VS 2005. I want to add the functionality to show or hide the series by using Datagridview Checkbox. Any help will be Appreciated.
Thanks

Great Job you guys! This is the best so far!

Where is Gantt chart?

You can use RangeBar chart type to create some basic Gantt charts.

very interesting, hello Korea !!!

I think there is a bug on the temp directory that stores the files.

Setup: ASP.NET 3.5 application running on IIS 7 and Windows Server 2008.
You need to add rights to asp.net worker with modify/write access to the folder, then on web.config you need to set the key with a absolute path.
<add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;dir=%DRIVE%:\inetpub\wwwroot\%APPLICATION%\TempImages\;" />
this is the only way you can deploy it on a server.
Relative paths like ~ or ./xxxxxxx/ is not working

Does anybody know how to make the plotted area transparent rather than white. The examples provided show that you need to change the Backcolor to transparent, but Backcolor in reality only changes the far background color, not the plotted background color. Thanks,

Download of the Win Forms example is missing Resource.resx, hundreds of errors attempting to compile. Maybe I'm missing something...

I'm trying to create a semi-log chart (y is linear, x is log). Are there any samples out there that someone can direct me to?

The Download with the Free Download Manager is impossible cause you will get only the Download .ASPX. Say CANCEL to the download Manager to get the ZIP File.

Kind Regards
Frank

@bjmc: set the background color of the chart area to a (semi-)transparent color. Like this:
chart.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0xd3, 0xdf, 0xf0);
chart.BackSecondaryColor = Color.White;
chart.BackGradientStyle = GradientStyle.TopBottom;
ChartArea ca = new ChartArea("main");
ca.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(64, System.Drawing.Color.White);

Can one use the control in a NET 2.0 application, with .NET Framework 3.5 installed?

what an awesome component !!!
I try to find component like this.
It looks very useful for my project !!

To use charts do I need NET Framework 3.5 installed on both my remote VS2005 machine, and hosting server? If must be installed on server is NET Framework 3.5 compatible with Sever 2003?

newbie question: I have downloaded the chart samples solution, installed the control and the VS plugin. Howveer, on compiling it I get (31 errors) of " the type or namespace chart is missing. I added the reference to "System.Web.DataVisualization.dll". however the errors continues to occur. I am sure it is something simple, but I am unable to figure out. Please help!

should ask quests on forums not comments. try forums.asp.net
