In this introduction to charts, we use a series of rectangles to draw a column chart.

GDI+ Examples: 2-Column Chart

Continuing with our introduction to charts, this time, we create a 2-column chart

 
 

This section contains application that apply various controls to create an application

Solas Property Rental

XML-Based Applications
College Park Auto-Shop

In this exercise, we create an application that can be used by a car repair business. An employee creates a work order that includes the parts used to fix the car and the types of jobs performed. When the repair is complete, the user can save it to an XML file.

Music Store

This application applies the concepts reviewed for the DataSet class, the data tables, and the columns. To do this, it simulates a musical instrument store that sells items and saves them as XML.

College Park Auto-Parts

This is an application used to create an inventory and process orders for an auto parts store. The inventory and the orders are saved in XML files.
