Yahoo Finance API like chart

Question

Hi all,

I want to create a chart very similar to yahoo Finance interactive chart (http://tinyurl.com/bqh7ym) in a .NET application. The interactive chart on Yahoo finance is not included in their developer API. Has anyone tried to leverage their API to create a similar chart? Although the chart is very much like the one used on Yahoo, the data used for my analysis is not Stock data. So, I will not be able to call the Yahoo Url by feeding any query params.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

amCharts Stock chart is of the same breed. It's Flash based but you can easily use it with any server side engine. Not sure whether you are looking for web or windows solution though.

Answer 2

If your looking at a web based chart, the flot graphs for jQuery are a good option IMHO. They look pretty schnazzy, are interactive and are very simple to get working.

You might consider Infragistics Web Charts also.
