Charting package for financial application

[Rishabh Chandra]

We are a bunch of folks at a start-up building a financial application using C#. The application will be mostly dealing with stock volumes, quotes etc. For the same, we would require a charting package allowing us to build line charts, candlesticks, open-high-low charts etc. As our resources are pretty constrained at the moment, we would like to start with a free package that offers us more flexibility than the built-in charting API.

Looking forward to the suggestions.

Rishabh.

I've been using zedgraph, google for it, maybe this it what you want.

Thanks Chris for the reply. I had a look at zedgraph. Would it allow for some interactivity in the charts? For example, if I need to zoom into a particular portion of the chart or scroll through various periods on the time scale?

I think so, there are a lot of possibilities, some you can configure, other you've to program on your own.
And I think, there are also source-files for zedgraph available

Thanks Chris. Will try to incorporate Zedgraph.
