Hi Daniel,

The current version of ChartDirector (version 7) already supports .NET 8. In fact, it works with .NET 9 as well.

For testing, you can try any ChartDirector sample projects for the .NET, such as the
"ChartDirector\NetCoreWPFCharts". In the Project Properties, you can set the "target framework" to .NET 8 and it will compile and run normally.

The following describes the sample code that comes with ChartDirector and how to use ChartDirector in your own projects:

You may have already know that ".NET Framework" and  ".NET" (also known as ".NET Core") are two similar but  incompatible development system from Microsoft. As of today 2025-02-08, the latest version of the ".NET Framework" is 4.8, and the latest version of ".NET" is 9. ChartDirector for .NET supports both the ".NET Framework" and ".NET". If you try the sample code for ".NET", it should allow you to set the target framework up to ".NET 9". If you try the sample code for ".NET Framework", it should allow you to set the target framework to ".NET Framework 4.8".

The following describes what is .NET Framework and what is .NET:
