Version 4.2
  • Service release. Full compatibility with Visual Studio 2008. All samples have been converted to VS2008 (names of Visual Studio 2005 versions now contain "_VS2005").

    As of v4.1, Xceed Chart for .NET works only with .NET Framework 2.0 and up. Users developing with .NET 1.1 can obtain the latest bug fixes by downloading the most recent Service Pack.
Version 4.1
  • Full Windows Vista support.

    As of v4.1, Xceed Chart for .NET works only with .NET Framework 2.0 and up. Users developing with .NET 1.1 can obtain the latest bug fixes by downloading the most recent Service Pack.
Version 4.0
  • GDI+ rendering mode: Specially designed for displaying two-dimensional charts and often produces better-looking 2D charts than the OpenGL device. Surface charts are not supported.
  • Rendering surface control: Support for bitmap and window rendering surfaces in both GDI+ and OpenGL rendering modes. The rendering surface can be changed at runtime.
  • Advanced data binding: Allows data contained in the data series to be bound to DataAdapters and DataSets. There is also a built-in wizard allowing you to configure the DataBinding with ease.
  • Photoshop-like image effects can be applied on all chart elements rendering in 2D mode. This includes blur, bevel and emboss, and lighting and glow filters, with many variations.
  • HTML-like multiline texts: Text rendering supports multiline and HTML-like formatted texts with applied fill effect, border, shadow, and image filters through XML tags and attributes. Support for bullets, superscript and subscript texts.
  • Shadows can be applied on all chart elements rendered in 2D mode. The component supports several types of shadows including solid, linear blur, radial blur, and Gaussian blur, with controlled fade area and color.
  • New interactive tools: Data Pan (end-user can scroll through the chart data), Data Zoom (end-user can zoom in the chart data contained in a user-specified rectangle and zoom-out can also be performed), and Data Cursor (helps determine the axis scale coordinates when clicking click on the chart or hovering over it).
  • Rendering images with transparent background: With the help of a single property, the chart can generate images with a transparent background. When the control is hosted in a Windows Forms application, this feature also properly modifies the control styles.
  • Improved user interface for all chart element editors.
  • Now supports XYZ scatter line charts, allowing you to draw lines in 3D and 2D, given the [x,y,z] coordinates for each line point.
  • Faster 2D and 3D rendering. The rendering engine has been optimized for speed and memory usage.
  • Several improvements have been made to the interactivity model of the component: All drag operations now support BeginDrag, EndDrag, and DoDrag events. All drag operations now support Cancel (when the user presses Esc). All drag operations now support the keyboard.
  • Improvements in the rendering engine: Complexity of sphere rendering can now be controlled, allowing for the display of 2D and 3D point charts in OpenGL with thousands of data points.
  • Coordinate transformation support: The chart exposes several functions that convert view coordinates to chart model coordinates and vice versa.
  • Improved image borders with applied fill effect, border and shadow, and controllable bevel effect. Image border rendering has been specially optimized for speed.

    This is the last version of Xceed Chart for .NET compiled to run on both .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0. While no new features will be made available for developers working with .NET 1.1, bug fixes for versions designed to work with .NET 1.1 will continue to be made available through Service Packs.
