Avoid IDE integration. Why would you want the VS IDE to embed a component inside itself? The IDE is already too large and slow. To add an assembly to a modern VS2022 project, we recommend editing the project file directly and adding/updating the Reference and HintPath manually. This approach simplifies the process and eliminates the tedious task of managing NuGet packages. Once you start adding assemblies manually, you’ll likely find it avoids much of the bloat and confusion often associated with the NuGet method and Visual Studio. Simply update the file at the hint path when you want to update your app.

If you still want to use nugets, and you no-hassle downloaded ProEssentials from our website, it's best to use the Gigasoft (local) nugets that will be installed with ProEssentialsv10. The default locations is c:\ProEssentials10\Nuget. If your system has the DotNet CLI available, our setup will automatically set Gigasoft (Local) as a local Nuget source. Else if DotNet CLI is not available, we recommend installing the DotNet CLI and reinstall ProEssentials.

1. Gigasoft's engineers will no-hassle/quickly answer your questions and provide programming services as needed. Just ask.

2. Best to download our full eval from www.gigasoft.com.

3. ProEssentials is ideal for large mission critical data visualization projects with many variations of proprietary interactive charts.

4. Gigasoft's attention to rendering detail quickly creates a clean professional end-user experience.

5. ProEssentials provides charts packed with data and annotations producing your proprietary visions mostly free of overlapping text and odd behaviors.

This Nuget is fine for a first look, however, for a complete functional evaluation, including example projects, local help... Download the full eval : https://gigasoft.com/net-chart-component-wpf-winforms-download

The eval download is the best way to learn ...

• examples 000, 100, 400 to know the basics
• examples 007, 014, 105, 107, 125 to know how to interact with chart programmatically
• examples 015, 005, 101, 026, 027, 028 to know about annotations
• examples 012, 013 for multiple axes, and 103 and 104 to overlap multiple axes
• example 005, and 132 to know how to create custom axes
• the more you play with our demo projects, the faster you master ProEssentials.

Basic Walk-Through: Winforms C#

1. Place a Pego control on your form. Default control name will be pego1.

2. Add a Form load event, Form1_Load. Tip, double click the forms top title/caption bar to quickly create a form load event.

3. Paste this code into your Load event handler.... Build, Run, Right-Click the chart to tinker with UI.

pego1.PeString.MainTitle = "Hello World"; pego1.PeString.SubTitle = "";

pego1.PeData.Subsets = 2; // Subsets = Rows // pego1.PeData.Points = 6; // Points = Columns // pego1.PeData.Y[0, 0] = 10; pego1.PeData.Y[0, 1] = 30; pego1.PeData.Y[0, 2] = 20; pego1.PeData.Y[0, 3] = 40; pego1.PeData.Y[0, 4] = 30; pego1.PeData.Y[0, 5] = 50; pego1.PeData.Y[1, 0] = 15; pego1.PeData.Y[1, 1] = 63; pego1.PeData.Y[1, 2] = 74; pego1.PeData.Y[1, 3] = 54; pego1.PeData.Y[1, 4] = 25; pego1.PeData.Y[1, 5] = 34;

// This enables data hot spots, But we need to define code in the HotSpot event // pego1.PeUserInterface.HotSpot.Data = true;

// These settings will be used for all charts // pego1.PeConfigure.RenderEngine = Gigasoft.ProEssentials.Enums.RenderEngine.Direct2D; pego1.PeConfigure.PrepareImages = true; pego1.PeConfigure.CacheBmp = true; pego1.PeConfigure.AntiAliasGraphics = true; pego1.PeConfigure.AntiAliasText = true;

// Call this at end of setting properties // pego1.PeFunction.ReinitializeResetImage();

pego1.Refresh(); // call standard .NET Refresh method to force paint
