Introduction

Dundas charts is a popular charting tool that embeds pie, bar, line, and more charts into a web or windows applicatin. For the web, Dundas generates the charts on the server and serves up images to the client in the browser. This works well in the web environment, which relies upon the use of images being present (whereas the windows realm can display an image stream). Microsoft leased part of the Dundas controls to create the .NET chart control freely available to the community, making all these great innovations created by Dundas available to the public. Microsoft did not lease the entire product, but rather a subset of the product.

I used the MSCC to build an application to track my mass(kg), body-fat(%) and body-water(%). It was a little intimidating at first, but by the end of a week I was comfortable with the control. It can be hard to set up on an ISP as it expects installation (not just upload of .dll to your /bin directory) and/or seems to require write permissions (even when set to persist the image to memory), but YMMV -- I'm happy with it. I really appreciated all the examples the author provided, which is also why I appreciate this article! Thanks!
