Hi all,

I have platform SDK for an embedded device. It works with Visual Studio 2008 on .NET Compact Framework 3.5. Device runs on Windows CE. I am developing a windows form in VS2008. I wanted to plot a line chart on Forms.

What I have tried:

I tried searching a lot on forums but not been able to find any good solution.
Can anyone suggest any internal function or any 3rd party library (free or paid will work) that will help me plot chart on .NET Compact framework 3.5?

Maybe you can use ZedGraph - a flexible charting library for .NET[^]

Or: QCChart2D and QCChart2D CF (VB and C#)[^]
This seems to be paid software, I could not find a download link, so maybe its best to contact the author.

The .NET Compact Framework 3.5 does not have built-in charting functionality, but you can use a third-party charting library called NPlot, it is free and available on Github - NPlot is an open source charting library for .NET [^]

I would however suggest that you rather upscale to newer versions of .Net as this is outdated by 10 years or so.
