Hello,

I just installed Visual Studio 2012 on Window 7 machine. And downloaded this version of Teechart .NET v2012. When installing it asks me to choose Visual Studio version and obviously VS2012 is not an option.
One forum said this would work fine for VS2012 and .NET framework 4.5. Is that true. Has anyone tried that.

When installing, what version of Visual Studio should I choose. I chose VS2010 just to see what happens. When I compile my project in VS2012 and Add the teechart.dll as reference I get error message saying
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Steema' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Is this message coming because this version is not compatible with VS2012?

Is there a workaround to get it working with VS2012?

Also the site where I downloaded this version I see this msg
Please note: If installing TeeChart for development use in Windows 64Bit environment you should run the TeeRegV2009.exe/TeeRegV2010.exe utility after installation (see below).

I tried to download and install TeeRegV2010.exe utility but it doesnt run. Again is this because I only have VS2012 and not VS2010?

Any help/pointers is really appreciated.

Thanks,
Bhanu

Hello Bhanu,

Ok. I have tried to reproduce your problem using last version of TeeChartFor.Net and checking TeeChart.dll in VS2012 and I have gotten next results:

First test, using window 7 x86, last version of TeeChartFor.Net and VS2012 works fine for me, following next steps:

1.- Install last maintenance release of 28 September for VS2010.
2.- Open VS2012 and create new project .Net framework 4.5
3.- Add TeeChart.dll in the reference folder
4.- Build the project and run it.

Or

1.- Install last maintenance release of 28 September for VS2010.
2.- Open VS2012 and create new project .Net framework 4.5
3.- Add TeeChart.dll in the ToolBox and add design time the chart.
4.- Build the project and run it.

Second test, using windows 7 x64,last version of TeeChartFor.Net and VS2012 and following the previous steps, it works fine for me.

I recommend you uninstall TeeChartFor.Net and install it again. After, follow my steps and check if your problem persist. If your problem appear again, can you please explain exactly, step to step what do you do, because we can reproduce your problem here and try to find a good solution for you?

Thanks,

Thank you Sandra for your reply and help.

I only have a Windows 7 64 bit machine with Visual Studio 2012 installed.
I have to build both a 32 bit executable as well as a 64 bit executable.

As I said I installed 28 Sep version and chose VS2010 during installation.

I am first trying to build a 32 bit exe.

Could you tell me how to do the following
3.- Add TeeChart.dll in the ToolBox and add design time the chart.

Where is the ToolBox in VS2012 (am new to VS2012). I am only used to Adding Teechart.dll as Reference. Also in Project Properties, there is "Common Properties->FrameWork and references". What .NET framework should I choose - since VS2012 is .NET 4.5 but VS2010 is .nET framework 4.0

Thanks again for all your help.

Hello Bhanu,

Sorry for the delay.

3.- Add TeeChart.dll in the ToolBox and add design time the chart.

To add TeeChart.dll in the ToolBox you only need follow next steps:

1.- Create a new tab in the ToolBox named, e.g: TeeChart.
2.-Click with right button in new tab TeeChart of ToolBox and select Choose Items
3.- In tab .Net Framework components click browse button and select the TeeChart.dll of the path in you installed it, e.g:
"C:\Program Files\Steema Software\Steema TeeChart for .NET 2012 4.1.2012.09280\net40\x86\TeeChart.dll"
4.- Click Ok.
After doing previous steps, TChart should appear in your ToolBox and you should be able to select it and add TChart in your Form.

Where is the ToolBox in VS2012 (am new to VS2012). I am only used to Adding Teechart.dll as Reference. Also in Project Properties, there is "Common Properties->FrameWork and references". What .NET framework should I choose - since VS2012 is .NET 4.5 but VS2010 is .nET framework 4.0

You can use until we don't publish the TeeChart.dll for .Net Framework 4.5, the Teechart.dll for .Net Framework 4.0. The TeeChart.dll of VS2010 is compatible with VS2012 and .Net Framework 4.5 and should work without problems.

If you have any problems please let me know.

I hope will helps.

Thanks,
