Looking for a line graph control.


(Frustratingly) , after unsuccessfully trying to use a picturebox
control to paint a line graph based on serial communications with a
remote device, it seems picturebox controls just won't work for this
purpose.

I have read Bob Powell's helpful articles and he seems to concur that
the picturebox is the wrong tool for this. I think I have seen or
read every article Google could find on the subject, and while there
were quite a few questions asked, there really didn't seem to be any
responses that I could make work, even though the coding examples were
quite similar to my approach.

So, has anyone here ever been able to draw a line graph on a Visual
Studio 2005 form? Would anyone happen to know of a control
(preferably free), from which I could adapt the code to my
non-commercial application?

Could anyone point me towards a resource that might be able to discuss
how to do this with a realistic approach? (Or is the graphics in
VS2K5 just not able to be used for this kind of application?)

Thanks for any help!
