Hi, I am developing an app using VC#.NET 2003 and SQL Server 2008. In VB3 there was Graphic control, which I could use to chart data like in Excel. After that I never needed that and so never bothered. But I don't find any such control either in VB6 or in .NET. Is there any substitute for it? Even if I want to do simple drawing a line or rectangle I am not able to find good support in .NET. In the documentation, I only find GDI and GDI+ which are to be used with C/C++ and not with VC#. Am I missing something? ThanQ...
It appears that this newsgroup is not favored by the pros. Even after 8 days of posting no one had answered my posting. However, continued efforts by me discovered the answer. I am posting my finding here for the benefit of all those interested, if any. Actually I was searching for MSCHART.OCX. It is actually MSCHRT20.OCX. I found some articles about it on internet when I googled for 'activx chart control'. Those articles were quite helpful in programming this control. However this is a COM control and I had to search in the COM CONTROLS tab. I found a microsoft forum posting on 'graph / chart control in .NET' dating back to year 2005. From that I came to know that Microsoft did supply the MS Chart control along with VS.NETF 2003 but discontinued it from 2005 version. I don't know if it is meant to be this COM control imported into .NET. I didn't find any native .NET control. But one thing, this MS Chart COM control is not for power programmers. It doesn't allow much manipulation. ThanQ...
