Free ModernUI Charts for WPF, Windows Store Apps und Silverlight published
Some days ago I have published a free library with chart controls which can be used in client applications. The library can be used in WPF desktop applications, in Windows Store apps and in Silverlight applications.
Download the binaries, source code and some test applications: https://modernuicharts.codeplex.com/
Or directly try them in the Silverlight application: https://www.mossblogger.de/charts/
Intention 1
I needed Modern UI Charts for my own application which should run on Desktop (WPF), Web (Silverlight) and Windows 8 devices and I didn't want to use 3 different third party charting components. That’s why I created the charts from scratch and used them in the tool “SharePoint Code Analysis Framework (SPCAF)” (https://go.spcaf.com/VSGallery) which I have developed with Matthias Einig.
Intention 2
I think that XAML is the greatest way to "describe” the UI of an application via a markup language. I don’t want to miss things like data binding, styling of controls, data templates, animation of state changes, easy re-use of custom controls, design support with Blend and many more. I don’t hope that HTML5 and JavaScript are the only future for our UIs. That’s why I wanted to discover how the same XAML could be used “cross-plattform” in WPF, Silverlight and Windows 8. For the charts I wanted to use as much as possible of the same XAML code which is available on all these plattforms. So finally the code for the charts uses the lowest common XAML subset of all three worlds. Check out the sample application in this project and see how it works.
Features
Dark Layout
Custom Color Palette e.g. with gradients, mono chrome

Nice charts, great work! I'm testing them but I can't refresh a ClusteredColumnChart when I try to add new series in runtime. Does any existing way to do that? I'm trying with the next code: viewModel.Series.Add(new SeriesData() {DisplayName = "Text", Items = An ObservableCollection<TestClass>() }); Thank you!Anonymous

I have been using modern ui chart controls.the following is the namespace "xmlns:chart="using:De.TorstenMandelkow.MetroChart" " <chart:PieChart Width="1063" x:Name="pie" Height="518" Margin="0,69,10,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" ChartSubTitle="Chart with fixed width and height" ChartTitle="Minimal Pie Chart " RenderTransformOrigin="0.331,0.503" > <chart:PieChart.Series> <chart:ChartSeries DisplayMember="Name" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Errors}" SeriesTitle="Errors" ValueMember="Amount" DisplayMemberPath="Name" /> </chart:PieChart.Series> the above is the xaml code of pie chart.now iam using observable collection to display the data into pie chart public class AViewModel { public ObservableCollection<TestCase> Errors { get; private set; } public AViewModel() { Errors = new ObservableCollection<TestCase>(); using (var db = new SQLite.SQLiteConnection(App.DBPath)) { var query = from i in db.Table<Sd_A>() select i; foreach (var _A in query) { Sd_Sub_Category subobj = SubCategoryViewModel.getId(_A.SubCategoryId); var A= new TestCase() { ID= _A.Id, Name = subobj.Name, Amounts = Convert.ToInt32(_A.Amount), }; Errors.Add(A); } } } } iam calling this collection from my .cs file in this way this.DataContext = new AViewModel.aViewModel(); from the above line the data is getting displayed in pie chart.in my collection Name is having same name with multiple times ie amair,amair,rahul,rani .iam getting only amair,rahul,rani in pie chart instead of amair,amair,rahul,rani. i want to display the complete the data from my collection even the name is repeating.please let me know where i need to change my code to solve the issue.Anonymous

As owner of Gigasoft, I love the ridiculous "Great Controls" plug and bad link of Nevron's, but if researching or interested in WPF Charting, and want to see an impressive 7 meg demo seconds away, and it will have you wondering how all that got in 7 Meg, yes see http://www.gigasoft.comAnonymous

if you want to use pure xaml then least common denominator can do the job. but if you have to code, then you will see that Wpf, silverlight and win8 have nothing in common. what if you want to develop for mac? xaml is dead outside of the MS domain - it will never run on android too. So looks like Html 5 is here to stay. if you need aomething equally powerful on C# check out Nevron Open VisionAnonymous

I was hoping to get better performance from a WPF Chart. There's a WPF Chart control that'll support millions of points. Do you have any plans to support something like this? http://www.scichart.com/
