Hi, Im trying to use the namespace AxMSChart20Lib namespace and AxMSChart class to create charts on my windows form. I can use to tools to drag a AxMSChart object onto my form but i dont really know how to do anything with it.

I can't find documentation anywhere including MSDN. Is anyone familiar with the class, or know any documentation for it?

Cheers,

I'd actually recommend NPlot or ZedGraph for charting. They are both free .NET components, unlike that ActiveX control you're trying to use. All else being equal, avoid COM in .NET if you can.

You could also use Office Web Components Chart Control. You don't need to have Office installed to use it. Can be downloaded separately. See this post (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1332974&postcount=6)

Infragistics chart controls were also good.. but I am not sure if its better that the ones that have been mentioned above as I have worked with this one only and not them. And I don't think it is for free. Regards.
