Charting Component in WPF or Silverlight

[gosling]

Hi,

Anyone know of any good charting components for WPF or Silverlight?

Looking for something fairly customizable, that will allow annotations, markers, multiple panels and series and all that good stuff.

All i've found so far is the MSChart thing in Datavisualization and AmCharts. . Having problems showing lots of data in real-time with both of these packages. .

Thanks.

StockchartX is available in different forms, Flash, Silverlight
OCX etc.

Looks promissing but i haven't developped with it myself.
I use the MS chart component for some things.

Please post your experiences here or directly to me as i'm very interested in your experience.

Thanks a lot for the replies.

I looked at StockChartX, but it looks poor at best - plenty of thick purple bars, but nothing of substance for real-time financial data. No Code. $359

AmCharts does look impressive, and you get the code if you pay for the developers version, so you can configure the techs as you like. Code included. €450.

http://www.numeraltechnology.com Looks crap. No code. $350.

Easy Financial Charts looks likes the most no-nonsense of the lot. Code included. $899

I'm confident in doing all the coding myself if I got hold of a half-decent component, but there's nothing really decent on offer. All I want is a component that will handle all the donkey work and logic associated with back filling data, handling empty bars, closing candles, redrawing max and min on axes - all that stuff. The technicals, annotations and submitting orders directly from the chart can be coded up easily enough if the basics of the component are solid.

Would you mind posting that url again, please, @ehlaban?

Any other ideas?

I've spend some time looking for a component myself and StockchartX looked reasonble.
For a short time i played with a trial version but spend my time using the MS chart
component (Dundas), and then the trial expired before i could take a real good look.

Are you sure about your comments?

Thanks again for the reply.

This url: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorial...tock-downl.aspx I tried to search for the page, but didn't have any luck. It's incomplete. Thanks.

I just noticed that they actually DO provide source code in C# - I thought it was just C++ for the ActiveX version. I'll get my basic set-up up and running with the MSChart component (Dundas) and then can take on a trial of StockChartX and check it out.

I paste the url on 2 lines then

If you code in C# this is a nice basic example

I know this isn't source - but www.freestockcharts.com is a lovely silverlight charting app.

Not sure what they use though.
