In this issue, the editor will bring you about how to use the built-in chart controls in Visual Studio 2010. The article is rich in content and analyzes and narrates it from a professional point of view. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

After the release of Visual Studio 2010 RC, users who follow VS2010 have gradually noticed some substantial features of Visual Studio 2010. Some of these improvements, I believe, can help you to better carry out .NET development.

Today's blog discusses what's new to ASP.NET and Windows Forms in .NET 4: built-in chart control support.

ASP.NET and Windows Forms Chart controls

Fourteen months ago, I wrote on my blog that Microsoft was offering free downloads of chart controls for ASP.NET 3.5 and Windows Forms 3.5.

You can download and use these runtime controls for free in your web and client applications today. You can also download their VS 2008 tool support. They provide rich chart functions that are easy to use. To find out what you can do with them, I recommend downloading the ASP.NET and Windows Forms routine projects, which contain more than 200 routines. Here is a screenshot of the pie chart and doughnut chart from the ASP.NET sample application:

The chart control is now built into .NET 4.

For .NET 3.5, you need to download chart controls separately and add them to your application. For .NET 4, these controls are now built into ASP.NET 4 and Windows Forms 4, which means you can use them right out of the box (no additional downloads or registrations are required).

In the ASP.NET 4 application, you will find a new built-in control on the data page of the toolbox:

You can use this control without registering or connecting any profile entries. All chart control configurations are now pre-registered by ASP.NET 4 (meaning you don't have to add anything to the application's web.config file to work). This allows you to keep very clean and minimal Web.config files.

This is how the built-in chart controls in Visual Studio 2010 are used. If you happen to have similar doubts, you might as well refer to the above analysis to understand. If you want to know more about it, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
