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:

Let me know if you have any specific questions or issues and I'll try to help out.

Thanks,

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.
