What is your specific problem? 

[Prashanth @ Conzerv]

dotnetCharting.winforms.dll is .NET dll which is used for charting. I want use this in labview. But, if i load this to .net container, it loads. but no properties and methods. what should i do ?

I've never used that control but I installed it on my virtual machine and I was able to access the properties after inserting the control in the container (see attached example). Are you sure you selected the WinForms control, and not the one intended for web pages? You may want to consider looking at ZedGraph, which is free. An example can be found here.

Just out of curiosity, what are you trying to graph that you think you cannot do with the graphs that are built into LabVIEW?

Thanks for reply. Actaully i am comparing some values. We are logging Data is from five centers at every 5 min. I need to display this in such way that, three centers data in bar type and other two in line type. There bars should come side by side like excel graph. Actually i am new to LabVIEW. I got the suggesion to use the .net chart.

But still it is not loading...... I am having that dll and kept in my data folder. while loading i am just giving that path and selecting the chart. Is there any other seetings to be done before use.
