Hello Lakshmi,

To work with source code version you must only added the TeeChart project with you want works (TeeChart,TeeChartSilverlight, TeeChartWPF) in your project, add the reference the project and build project, in the bin folder will be created a TeeChart.dll. Please see next steps to achieve it:

1.- Create a new project.
2.- Select Solution Explorer and add the TeeChart project you want use in the solution.
3.- Click with right button in the references folder.
4.- Choose the tab Project and add the reference of TeeChart project.
5.- In the debug combobox, select configuration manager and check all projects are selected.
6.- Build and run d'application.

Moreover, I recommend taking a look in Install.txt file are you find in the folder where you install TeeChart for .Net 2012 Full source code that help you to work with source code. If you have any problems or questions please let me know.

I hope will helps.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for responding to my question. I am not suppose to add any other projects to the solution in which i am working.
I checked Install.txt but there in no installation procedure written for windows system.
There is an exe named "TeeRecompile"( TeeChart Source Code Recompilation Tool).
There are many files with the extension .bdsgroup and bdsproj. All the files need to be compiled right?
Please tell me how to compile these source code using TeeRecompile tool.
Please respond before tomorrow noon. I am very much in need of TeeChart.dll and few other dlls.

Regards and Thanks,
Lakshmi

Hi,

I forgot to mention that i am using Visual studio 2008.
The project is with the extension .bdsproj. I cannot add this kind of project to the solution.
Please respond as soon as possible.

Thank you..

Hi Lakshmi,

If you have a *.bdsproj file means that you got TeeChart Pro VCL (for Delphi and C++ Builder) source code instead of TeeChart for .NET (for Visual Studio - C#, VB and Visual C++).

If you wanted to purchase a TeeChart for .NET license please contact our Sales Dept. at sales at steema dot com for more information on how to change your license. TeeChart for .NET is available both in binary and source code versions. Note that the source code version also gives access to the binary installers (compiled .dlls). For pricing information please see http://www.steema.com/order/net/n. Also, if you purchased your TeeChart license via a software reseller you should contact them.

If you are interested in TeeChart VCL then go to the TeeChart program group and run the TeeRecompile tool supplied to compile and install the sources in your environment.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Narcis,

Thanks for the information. I got to know that *.bdsproj is for Borland C++.
I downloaded the source code from the link given by the vendor. In the link it was mentioned as "TeeChart Pro v2010 VCL / VCL.NET with 100% Source Code".
Does it mean its for only C++ or for .NET also ? I tried to use "TeeRecompile"( TeeChart Source Code Recompilation Tool).
But the button "Begin" which begins the compilation is always disabled. May be the way i am trying to compile is wrong.
Please let me know how to compile the source code using TeeRecompile tool.

Hi Lakshmi,

Does it mean its for only C++ or for .NET also ?

This is VCL.NET, not Microsoft .NET Framework, and is for Delphi and C++ Builder only. VCL.NET was developed over the VCL.Win32 framework. It's development has been discontinued for some time now. You'll find more information about VCL.NET at:

http://delphi.about.com/od/vclnet/VCL_for_NET.htm
http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/31983

Anyway, if you are not developing either in Delphi or C++ Builder this is not the right product for you. If you want to use C#, VB or Visual C++ in Visual Studio you'll need a TeeChart for .NET license. Please contact your software vendor for more information on how to change your current TeeChart VCL license for a TeeChart .NET license.

I tried to use "TeeRecompile"( TeeChart Source Code Recompilation Tool).
But the button "Begin" which begins the compilation is always disabled. May be the way i am trying to compile is wrong.

This is probably because you don't have any RAD Studio, Delphi or C++ Builder IDE installed on your machine.

Please let me know how to compile the source code using TeeRecompile tool.

TeeRecompile is for TeeChart VCL version and Delphi and C++ Builder development environments only.

Hi Narcis,

Thanks a lot for sharing the information

Thanks and Regards,
