bar graph in vb.net?

Question

i need to take user input and make a very simple bar graph from it in vb.net. anyone have suggestions on an easy way to accomplish this?

Answer 1

You didn't specify a framework but I'm guessing that you're using winforms?

What you're looking for is a chart / bar control. By default WinForms doesn't have great bar / chart controls. This site has a breakdown of the various add ons Microsoft released for WinForms and ASP.Net in the area of chart controls

Answer 2

Agreed - you didn't specifiy framewrok version - web or windows app. But here is a good free one for 3.5 framework web or windows apps.

I have been very please with ZedGraph for .net 2.0. I use it for both webforms and winForms.
