I have created several TeeChart.NET windows applications and I would like to be able to use these in asp.net. Is there any way to use a TeeChart windows application (WinForms) in a web browser (either a DLL or EXE)? I have tried creating a windows control library DLL file but I couldn't get it to work with asp.net. I am using TeeChart.NET v2 with VS.NET 2005.

Thank you.

Hi bsindorf,

For using in ASP.NET you should create a ASP.NET WebForms application and use WebChart component include in the TeeChart assembly (TeeChart.dll). You'll find further information on how to use TeeChart in WebForms at the TeeChart tutorials, that can be found at the TeeChart program group, and the live ASP.NET demo.

I am able to create ASP.NET applications using WebForms with WebChart components, however I would like to use WinForms (windows application) within an ASP.NET web page.

Some of the reasons I want to do this are:
1. I have previously created windows applications with TeeChart that I would like to reuse without recreating the entire application.
2. There are components available in WinForms that aren't available in WebForms.
3. The WebForms zooming capabilities with TeeChart are not as nice as with WinForms.

Maybe the following link would help, this is what I am trying to accomplish:

Thanks.

Any new information on this topic?

Thanks.

Hi bsindorf,

We planned to implement a .ten file viewer. It will be a different assembly just to visualize. ten files. This item is on our wish-list and its priority has been increased latelly. We expect to able to give a date for its release soon.

What is this .ten file viewer? Does it have the capabilities that I specified above (specifically zooming similar to winforms)? Do you have an estimate of the release date time-frame (ie., the end of this month or this year)?

Is it possible to do what I require (use winforms within an asp.net web page) with TeeChart ActiveX v6?

Would it help if I send you an example of what I am trying to do?

Thanks.

A .ten file viewer is a piece of sotfware that loads a .ten file (TeeChart for .NET native files). Those files are as interactive as any TeeChart component in a WinForm. As I told you, I can't still give you any estimate release date for now.

You can have TeeChart as a live object in a ASP.NET application using TeeChart Pro ActiveX. There are some example of that at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v6 ActiveX Control\Examples\Visual Studio .NET.
