Tips and Tricks
Using Charts without Silverlight deployment
The Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Charts is an Visual WebGui integrated Visifire charts Silverlight component, and as such, it does require the corresponding .XAP (Silverlight packagaged code) be included in your application, but it does not require that you deploy your whole application as a SilverLight application. Below is a procedure for including the Charts control in your application and still only deploy as DHTML.
- Register Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Charts to your project
- Register the Charts control in web.config (or via the Registration tab in Visual WebGui integration)
- Create a ClientBin folder in your application's root foolder.
- Obtain the SDK sources for the Catalog sample application that matches your SDK version (from SVN, Catalog source installation or a with sources installation)
- Locate the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Catalog\ClientBin folder in the sources you chose to install or download.
- Copy Gizmox.WebGUI.Silverlight.Controls.Charts.xap to your application's \ClientBin folder
The above procedure has been verified to work with 6.3.14 and 6.4.0Beta1b installation
Using Charts in version 6.4.0RC0 and later versions
For version 6.4.RC0 and later, the process is more simple. Just reference the Gixmox.WebGUI.Forms.Charts assembly, register Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Chart control in web.config and your charts should work fine. For samples on how to use the Chart control, see the sample UserControls in the Catalog demo application in the Extension/Charts folder within the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Catalog project. For convenience, here is a link to the SVN source coude for those two UserControls: Sample1 and Sample2.
