Adding Teechart to toolbox

[anaesthesia]

I'm trying to add TeeChart to the toolbox in the x64 version of VS 2010 running under Win 7 and it keeps telling me that TeeChart.dll is not a .NET module. What am I doing wrong?
BTW, there don't appear to be any installation instructions in the version I've downloaded.

Hi anaesthesia,

TeeChart's x64 build is not to be used at design-time. It's only to be used when building your applications for generating x64 native applications. For using at design-time you should use the binary installer specific for your IDE.

I'm still having problems...

I've completely unistalled Teechart, and now I've tried the following:

1. Execute TeeChartNET2010VSNET2010_4.0.2010.13053.exe

This comes up with a consistent error "ToolBoxEditor2010 has stopped working" followed by various error messages about help editor and tells me that I've only partially installed the product.

2. I then execute TeeRegV2010.exe

Which tells me that the "Key Installed successfully".

3. I then run VS 2010 and select choose items. (The Steema Teechart Items appear checked in the list but are not in the toolbox). I now find that I can't add them to any tab by unchecking and chercking them.

My OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit and VS 2010. Both have all the latest updates installed.

Hi anaesthesia,

Your project may be set to target a Client Profile framework. Go to Project menu -> Open project properties window, go to Application tab -> Target framework and select .NET Framework 4 (or desired full framework, not Client Profile).

Does this solve the problem for you?

I'm afraid it doesn't.

When I look at the 'Choose Items' dialog, the Steema components are listed and checked, However, they do not appear in the toolbox unless 'Show All' is checked - in which case they are greyed out.

I am using Framework 3.5.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the info.

I am using Framework 3.5.

That's the problem then. In that case you should either set your project to target .NET Framework 4.0 or use TeeChart for .NET 2010 assemblies for VS2008 which work fine with .NET Framework 3.5.

Hope this helps!
