Hi,

I need a open-source/free C# tool or library that can do financial charting for a student project. It needs to be able to do a open-high-low-close chart, and be able to graph various technical indicators that I calculate, all from within a Windows form.

Any recommendations?

A: 

ChartFx from SoftwareFX is pretty good. They are not free but do offer a 30 day trial that might work for a student project.

Try ZedGraph. You can do almost anything with that library.

Note: It's free and open source.

It's not exactly open-source, but it is free (if you have a valid Office license). You can use Office Web Components to create almost any chart Excel can.

Microsoft has released a chart control for .NET 3.5. You can get support at this forum.
