*) note : we use .netCharting as component/control in this article

Introduction

This document describes how to add the .netCHARTING control to various versions of Visual Studio toolbox.

Visual Studio 2002 & 2003:

  • Right-Click on the toolbox > Add/Remove Items
  • Select the .net Framework Components tab
  • If the server version is installed, the component will be listed in the list box. Otherwise, click browse and select the .netCHARTING dll.
  • Click Ok to finish.
  If the error “The format of the file ‘dotnetcharting’ is invalid.” occurs. This means the dll being added is a .net 2.0 assembly. To resolve this issue, the .net 1.x version of the bundle must be downloaded and used instead.

 

Visual Studio 2005, 2008 & Express editions.

  • Right-Click on the toolbox > Choose Items
  • Select the .net Framework Components tab
  • If the server version is installed, the component will be listed in this tab. Otherwise, click browse and select the .netCHARTING dll.
  • Click Ok to finish.
