Chartfx vs. Dundas Charts

Dan Reber

I am about to purchase a chart control for my application but I am not sure
which one to go with. Does anyone have any pros/cons for either component?
I have already tried both and they seem very similar but there is only so
much I can test before I need to purchase.

Have you had a look at TeeChart from Steema Software (www.steema.com)?

It does at least everything Dundas and Chartfx does in one single,
reasonably priced package.

I have used dundas before and its very reliable and pretty fast for rendering.

I'm no expert. But, I investigated all of these recently. Dundas was
way too expensive. Unless you need some special feature that only they
have, it seems crazy to use it. ChartFX was too expensive, also, if I
remember correctly. I tried the ChartFX trial and it seemed like a
difficult object model to understand. ChartDirector looked great for
the price, but I needed Compact Framework support, also. I decided on
Steema. I could do a lot more with the free version than most other
free versions out there, including scrolling and zooming. For a lot of
people, the free version is probably all they need. The reasonably
priced full version includes the ASP.NET and compact framework support,
also. I've been using it for several weeks now on both the PC and CE
platforms.

Hi Dan,

You would probably want to look at Super 2d/3d Graph Library.
For only 39$ you have a 100% charting component for both winform and
webforms applications. Includes unlimited email support, free updates
for a year and best of all, it's royalty free!!

It supports both Visual Studio 2003 and 2005.

Best regards,

If i Alt-Tab to another full screen application and then Alt-Tab back a few seconds later, the graph has redrawn a lot more of it that it would have had it been on the screen all the time. This...

Hi, I don't even know if many people use this product, but bless you if you do and know what I'm talking about. We recently upgraded ChartFX to 7.0, and are having some difficulties with the way we used to display the data. We populate a ListProvider with an ArrayList of arrays, and then use this as the datasource. But for some reason we do not have the ability to Map the Fields so ChartFX knows how we want them to be displayed. If...
