[QUOTE="GW, post: 1983175"]
Hello,

I am in the process of learning .net 2.0 / 3.0 c# using Visual Studio 
2005.  My machine has the .NET 3.0 framework installed.

I have about 10 - 15 different tables, all requiring various bar charts 
and graphs - I am wondering if I should be attempting such a feat by 
hand, OR if I should download some type of component / plug in which has 
wizards etc (I am currently looking at [URL="http://www.dotnetcharting.com"]www.dotnetcharting.com[/URL] .

I see Visual Studio has Crystal Reports built in (I am using enterprise 
version I believe)...does Crystal Reports have these charting features 
built in?

Any tips or advice will be taken on board.  Just for the record, I did 
manage to do one chart yesterday by  hand, and it works, but it was a 
complete nightmare.

What i did:

First of all I created two data readers.  The first gave me a TOTAL 
count.  The second gave me three groups of records, which if combined, 
would = TOTAL.

I then did a calculation on each group of records:
group / total * 100 = PERCENTAGE of total.

Lastly, I created a table and each row was given a different background 
colour and the width was set to PERCENTAGE.

Anyway needless to say, it took me ages and I do not want to go through 
that process again.

Cheers,

Gary.
