C# Windows Forms - Graphing

[etienne_marais]

Can anybody suggest a nice open source graphing/charting package for use in c# Windows Forms applications ?

We have used zedgraph in the past but are looking for something more current.

Was about to suggest zedgraph. What kind of graphs are you needing? Graphs or charting?

ScottPlot looks good. I tend to use DevEx

+1 for DevExpress. Not free or cheap though.

Why not use straight .Net chart control?

Its more code to get it right , but way more customizable and powerful.

Chart Class (System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting)

Serves as the root class of the Chart control.

The above posters are right , if the graphs you want are straightforward and flexibility is not an issue.

But DX is reliable and they have good support in my experience
