Adding a chart to your form is then just a matter of dragging a chart on to your form from the ToolBox, under Data heading. Once installed on your machine, the chart requires a reference to in your project. Once again, the user can Copy, Save or Print a report. A button will come into view which will allow the user to reset the main graph to the default. If the user clicks any month on the small graph, the main graph will change to reflect only that specific month's figures. On the top left is an information panel showing the various figures for the product, and on the bottom left is a small Column graph showing total unit sales for the product for those months.

On selecting a product in the pie graph, a second form will open, which will show the user a Column graph showing daily sales for the product over the past 3 full months as well as the current month. A button also becomes visible allowing the user to return to the Category view. Once again, the graph can be Copied, Saved as image or Printed as a report. A sliding trackbar comes into view which enables the user to group products that have a percentage value less than the selected amount. The datagrid shows the values for each product in the Category. If the user clicks on the selected Data Point, then the graph will change to a Doughnut graph, showing the percentage of each Product within the chosen Category, and the second selection panel will give an added choice of showing Unit Sales, as well as Retail Value and Percent of Sales. When the user moves the mouse over one of the graph's Data Points, or Legend Items, the graph will highlight the particular Category. On the right is a vertical menu which allows the user to Copy the Graph to the clipboard, Save the graph as an image or Print a report showing the graph. The Datagrid shows the actual figures according to the various selections. The top selection panel gives the user the option of selecting which month's figures to view, while the second gives the user the choice of whether to view the categories as a percent of Gross Sales, or as Total Retail Value. On the left are 2 selection panels, and a DataGrid. The application defaults, on opening, to the current months figures. The application opens up with a pyramid graph showing the percentage of the company's Gross Sales divided into 6 different product categories.
Application DetailsĪs this article is about using the MSChart Control rather than the application as such, I will just give a brief overview of the application, and how it works. The database for the application is included with the VS project, you simply need to set the ConString setting in My.Settings to point to the correct file location. It is also better to have the VS Add-On for VS 2008 which can be found at MSChart Add-On For VS 2008. This control requires your installation of VS 2008 to be updated to SP1. To run the sample application requires that you have the MSChart Control installed on your machine, which can be downloaded from MSChart.

Commercial Chart controls such as Dundas were way out of budget, and so I came across Microsoft's free Chart control, MSChart for. Previously, we had been using an in-house charting control, but this control has become rather klunky and bloated over the years, and so we wanted to look for an alternative.
We rewrite these general apps on a four year cycle, and, this year being a major rewrite year, I was researching and testing various components and technologies that we would likely be using in the upgrades. Basically we develop a generalised application, and then customise that application to meet requirements for specific customers. Our company specialises in custom Business applications. It covers the use of Pyramid, Pie and Column Graphs as they would typically be used in a business management type application.
The accompanying application attempts to demonstrate the use of the MSChart Control in a typical SME Line of Business Application.
