Build Chart DLL with C# to use with MFC app.

Post by KevL » Fri Sep 25, 2009 3:12 pm

I am trying to build Charting DLL with C# that includes TeeChart .NET that can be called from a legacy MFC application. So far I haven't even been able to get a non-chart to work in this manner. Wading through all the Microsoft and other posts, I find that it is supposed to be possible, but I just can't find the right set of instructions. Can anyone tell me first if a C# managed DLL can be called from a VC++ MFC application and, if so, Can I add a TChart to it and access it? If I can do this, can someone give me explicit instructions on how to do it?

thanks,
Kevin

I guess no one has any input on this one?

Bottom line is I want to build a DLL using C# that includes a TChart on a form that can be opened from a MFC app.

Any takers?

thanks,
Kev

Hello Kev,

We don't have experience of this type of an application. As you say, there are help sources around the net that include tips though I haven't seen a straightforward example of all-of-it anywhere yet. The building of the TeeChart dll itself is straightforward, simple by creating a UserControl or Class library project.

Re. "if a C# managed DLL can be called from a VC++ MFC application"
Yes, I believe this is possible, this post at StackOverflow introduces the how-to: "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1432 ... pplication".

The Assembly.Loadfile once achieved will give access to the loaded TeeChart dll that may be used rather like the example here: http://www.teechart.net/files/public/su ... Steema.zip

If anyone has the answer or a complete example of how to do this it would be useful to see it on this thread. Thanks!
