Thread: ASP.NET Charting Controls

I'm wanting to add ASP.NET Charting Controls to our website. Has anyone accomplished this that could point me in the right direction?

Right now the main problem seems to be adding the appropriate files to the .NET 3.5 framework and/or upgrading the framework to 4.0.

Thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Here's what I did to add ASP.NET Charting Controls to my store. I should mention I'm running AspDotNetStorefront Multistore 9.3.0.0/9.3.0.0.

1. Back up your web.config file and save it somewhere safe.

2. Create a folder called temp (or something else) in the root of your project. Make sure it has write access.

3. Add these lines to the following sections of your web.config file:

Code:

<appSettings>
<add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=20;dir=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\AspDotNetStoreFront\Web\temp;" />
</appSettings>

Code:

<httpHandlers>
add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>

Code:

<handlers>
<add name="ChartImageHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</handlers>

4. Add this line to the top of any .aspx that uses the charting control:

Code:

<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" TagPrefix="asp" %>

It seems to be working for me.
