Adding MSChart to a windows forms project

[Richard]

I don't know any thing about c#, I really need to do this in visual c++. I
don't manually wrap the dll but since it's called AxInterop.OWC10.dll I
assume visual studio has done that for me.

get an error message saying that it can't find a dll file but if I look in
the debug directory of the project file it's there.

Some help please. Or an other way of adding charts to my application that
doesn't involve complicated coding or buying 3rd party software.

Are you using the InterOp to wrap the DLL? You can't just add an
ActiveX DLL to a C# project...

I created a new project (C++ managed, window form). I then did an add
reference, surfed to c:\windows\system32\mschart.ocx and added it. It
appears as MSChartLib in the reference list.

Add:
using namespace Interop::MSChartLib;

and finally

MSChart * chart; // com ChartClass

I get it?
