TeeChart.Net VS2013 64Bit

[PGTEE]

Hi,

I am using TeeChart.Net 2014 4.1.2014.12150 in Visual Studio 2013 (with update 4).
I can place the X86 version of the control in both X86 & AnyCPU projects, but get errors trying to add the X64 version to the toolbox in X64 projects.

Have I missed any install steps, or is this a general issue with VS2013?

Also is there any sort of speed advantage to using the X64 version over the X86 version?

Thanks for your help.

The Visual Studio Windows Forms design surface is a 32bit application, meaning that the 64bit TeeChart.dll cannot be installed in the toolbox or used in it. What has to be done is to use the TChart class at runtime - create an instance of it at code and then add it to the Form or to a Panel or whatever.

Also is there any sort of speed advantage to using the X64 version over the X86 version?

I'm afraid I don't have any figures that directly compare 64bit and 32bit TeeChart.dll performance, but I imagine the difference is similar to the performance difference between a 64bit and 32bit operating system running on identical hardware.
