• Visual Basic Where is the Chart class?

  I'm trying to add a chart object to a windows form. Did this once a long time ago (VB6). But I can't find the chart class. I gather I need the Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel name space, but I can't find that. I am running VS 2005 standard (and I am begining to suspect that the chart class is not available in the standard edition). Hi, If you install vb6 in your computer then I'm quite sure that you can use the Chart control available in VB6 in your .Net form through the COM components. Or you can search for a third party control. Or you can try to find the Ocx that VB6 is using for its chart control then register it through regsvr32 in your computer and add it through the COM components. cheers, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions numeric updown

  i was wondering if there was a way to save the numericupdown digits into a variable, so that i can later do math with them The NumericUpDown control tells you what was entered by the user with the Value property. That is a numeric type, System::Decimal specifically. A little heavy-handed, just cast it to an int (or double) to do the math. ...Show All

I have exactly the same problem. In my case it goes through if I have just restarted my computor. Then it works fine. Lets say you want to open a win32 console application. Try to change the _tmain to main by deleting the "_t" from it before you compile. I find that it works after that even if you change it back. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Unable to set Xvalues property error

  Hello, I have been trying to write a macro in Excel VB for creating scatterplots using sorted data in a worksheet. When I read in this data in the form of x and y arrays and then try to create a plot from this data using the Xvalues/Values properties of the series on a new scatterplot, it gives me error. Funny thing is that for a particular column only this error is present. For other columns, there is no error. I have read past two threads on this problem and have ensured that both x and y arrays contain only plottable data, meaning that there is no element of x/y array which is empty or not defined. Here is the part of the code that causes this problem. dknt = 0 For l = 0 To d_rows - 1 If dta(i, m, 0, j, l) <> &quo ...Show All
