charting in vb.net
I am porting an esxcel application to a stand alone exe and am looking to
use VB.NET. Does anyone know is the charting capability via VB.NEt as good as in excel. Would you have to use a third party 'grid' type program only for charting or is it all built into VB.NET Any advice much appreciated. Kind regards, Mark |

Hi
I have found charting in VB or VB.net very tough. I think you can automate the excel chart within VB, your exe will then only run on machines that have excel on. There are free components out there check out http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/120804-1.aspx For asp charting you can use office web componenets check out http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/080603-1.aspx I am currently trying to uses a charting component add-in from www.gigasoft.com - I just use thier smallest chart component, which is the cheapest I can fine at about $175. But it is still very tough to implement- I am still looking for a better way to chart in VB. |

Hi Jedi,
Since I posted I have found a great charting solution www.dundas.com - download the eval the code is all there and it adds itself to the controls in VB.NET tools so it is very easy to implement. Some very cool charts and the guage product is great too (should apply to them for a job!). Thanks for your input, kind regards, Mark "jedi" wrote in message oups.com...
