MSCHART 60 Documentation

Question

I have been trying to use the MSCHART60 control in VB.net 2003.  I have the control installed and working, but I cannot find any documentation on the control.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  Is there a better control (more modern) control to use for charting in vb.net?  Thanks in advnace for your help.

According to your question on MSCHART6.0 in VB.NET 2003, I would like to provide you the suggestions as follows:

 

1. Documentation issue: Please take a look at the following article on MSChart control in MSDN:

 

Visual Basic: MSChart Control

 

2. VB.NET charting issue:

 

The first thread is an example on the flow charting diagram with the answer provided by Zhi-Xin Ye - MSFT:

Also you can use Excel automation to generate charts.

 

And if you do a web search on .NET and charting components you'll find a few free ones such as ones on code project.

 

Or if you really feeling brave you could write your own graph functionality using GDI

 

Hope that can help you.
