I have a problem, that I created a project under 4.5 Framework, then downgraded it to 3.5, but MSChart doesn't work, even if it's supposed to work under 3.5. I have removed and readded references, doesn't help at all.

Do you get any error messages? – GrandMasterFlush Feb 12 '13 at 13:55

Yes, I got a bunch of them, all of them are refering to code parts, which include any references to the chart, like series, chart area and chart itself. – Mārtiņš Radiņš Feb 12 '13 at 14:20

Oh, and I got 2 warnings refering to dll's: Assembly 'System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Design.dll' is incorrectly specified as a file – Mārtiņš Radiņš Feb 12 '13 at 14:22

You need to be careful here, because .net 4 was a benchmark.
If you have a .net 4 executable, then it can reference a .net 2 library no problem. (Bear in mind here that .net 2, 3 and 3.5 were all essentially .net 2)
However if you have a .net 2 executable and try to reference a .net 4 library, its not going to work.
I suspect you have the latter. Running under .net 3.5 effectively gives you a .net 2 executable. If the MsChart component is built as a .net 4 component, then you'll have problems.
I'd double-check the version of MsChart you're referencing here. Just removing and readding might not be enough if you're re-adding the wrong version.

Official downloadable MSChart content is for 3.5 SP1. I Tried to create a fresh project under 3.5, but it still doesn't work.Maybe is is because I work in Visual Studio 2012? – Mārtiņš Radiņš Feb 12 '13 at 14:15

So VS2012 then? Not something I've used in anger yet - I'm just picking it up now. I'd Be interested to know how you solved it (assuming you did!) – PeteH Feb 13 '13 at 20:56

I grew tired of trying to get it to work under VS2012, so I just continued the project on VS 2010. – Mārtiņš Radiņš Feb 20 '13 at 07:36
