WHERE TO START LEARNING .NET WINDOWS CHARTS AND LabVIEW

[uxpro]

¿ Can anyone tell me where to start if I want to modify the graphs and chart appeareance with the windows .net chart controls? I just couldn´t find the documentation both on the windows web site and NI

website.

Thank you in advance

Have you tried the LabVIEW Help topic "Creating .NET Controls in a .NET Container?"

[MattWhitlock]

Your best option is to go to the documentation at MSDN here:

http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4418

here:

http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart

and here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd456632.aspx

From there, you'll have to translate from VB.NET or C#.NET to determine the appropriate property nodes.

Good article here as well:

Hi MattWhitlock I've already been surfing the pages that you post it and by the way  there's a lot of info. Unfortunatley I'm in the darkness here :s, is there anything else like a "hellow, world" for this in  LabVIEW. as closest as I got was this "Getting started tutorial" but it didn't say much to me because It's a Visual Basic tutorial and I just can't find any relation with the graphic programming in LabVIEW.

I appretiate your help,

thanks a lot.

uxpro,

Actually, the first link by Thoric may be what you're looking for as far as a LabVIEW implementation.

As it's something I have a latent interest in(I'm also a C# .NET developer), I'll put together a document or presentation that goes through a step-by-step tutorial for using .net charts in LabVIEW.  It'll probably take a few days, but will post it here.

Hi Matt,

looking forward to your presentation=;)

Something to look forward to after my hiking vacation in the alps next week!

Or are u presenting at NI week?

Should have the presentation done in a few days.  I'm not presenting at NI Week, but since I lead the Northern Colorado LabVIEW Users Group (NOCLUG), I tend to present a lot.

I'm jealous of you hiking in the alps though, have fun!

[MattWhitlock]

Just about done with the presentation (it's ~30 slides), and plan to post it here on Tuesday.  I hope the delay is worth it.

[MattWhitlock]

Here's the presentation finally.  Let me know what you think or if you have any questions.  Most of the work is just finding the right property/invoke nodes to do what you want.
