Creating Chart using DataVisualization.Charting in .NET 4.0

I'm attempting to user System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting to create a line chart. I've been using the System.Wind开发者_如何学Goows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit for a while now but would like to get rid of all of my .Net 3.5 references. I cannot find any sources for examples of charts using DataVisualization.Charting

Using System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit...

<DVC:Chart Name="mcChart" Width="Auto" Height="225" Padding="0" Margin="0,-5,0,0" >
                                <DVC:Chart.Series>
                                    <DVC:LineSeries x:Name="lsActual" Title=" Expenditures" IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}" DependentValueBinding="{Binding Amt}" DataPointStyle="{StaticResource redLineDataPoint}" />
                                    <DVC:LineSeries x:Name="lsBudget" Title=" Budget" IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}" DependentValueBinding="{Binding Amt}" DataPointStyle="{StaticResource blueLineDataPoint}"/>
                                    <DVC:LineSeries x:Name="lsProjection" Title=" Projection" IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}" DependentValueBinding="{Binding Amt}" DataPointStyle="{StaticResource greenLineDataPoint}" />
                                </DVC:Chart.Series>
                            </DVC:Chart>

System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting...

You can use the new (FW4.0) charting controls, but they are WindowsForms controls, which means you have to use the <WindowsFormsHost> container:

1. Add a reference to WindowsFormsIntegration
2. Add a reference to System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization

3. Add the following namespace:

   xmlns:charting="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting;assembly=System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization"
   

Also, there are some things you have to keep in mind with hybrid applications.

Besides the above, I think the WindowsForms version of the charting controls is a bit better designed. I'm going to give them a try in a WPF application.

Download the "Samples Environment"! It has a truckload of examples and guides. I've only had two problems with it: running the executable directly and problems when the path had a # in it.

You have to use the toolkit.
