  Add multiple gauges and realtime chart to existing VB.NET 2005 form

Hello all.

How do I add charts and graphs to an existing VB.NET Windows form (not a web page).  I'm creating a dashboard for an existing app.

Thanks,
Mark.

Hi MXWilliams,

The method is similar to the one described in "ChartDirector Documentation/Getting Started/The First Windows Forms Project from Scratch". You may refer to the documentation for more details.

In brief, the steps are:

(a) Drag a ChartDirector WinChartViewer control onto the Windows Form.

(b) Add the line "Imports ChartDirector" (for VB.NET) or "using ChartDirector;" (for C#) to your code.

(c) Insert some charting code in your Form_Load method (or some other event which you want to trigger drawing of the chart).

Hope this can help.

Regards
Peter Kwan
