Question Graphs/Charts ?

[graced]

Hi,

Is it possible to have a chart/graph in your VB .Net application without having to export/import from Excel? (i.e. generate own graph and show it in the application itself). Thank you!

It is.

For graphs you could use the ZedGraph Library (http://www.zedgraph.org)

thanks for the help! can it also work for progress bar? or charts (i.e percentage of work done per module)

Using ZedGraph as Progressbar would be...let's say you don't use a toaster to drive the highway, do you?

What kind of Chart do you need? An simple one, then I would recommend the DataGridView. If you need something complex like Excel/Calc, then I would recommedn that you look for an Excel-Control (which includes the excel-Chart as control into the form)

What would you need for the progressbar?

Hehe. Thanks!

I need it to show the progress of a specific task. For example, in a project, there are different tasks and the progress of each tasks are shown.

I don't know of a good resource for you to use, but to aid in your searching, the name of the type of chart your are describing is a "Gantt Chart".

Oh...such an 'prograssbar'.

I'm sure you can use ZedGraph also for this. F.e. with a bar graph. All you'd need do provide to the Graph would be the time.
