Hello Everyone,



I would like to share an exciting data-visualization component that our team has built for Microsoft Visual Basic 6. I apologize if this sounds like an advert, but my sole aim here is to spread the word about the component that might help you in your projects.



Till now, charting in Visual Basic has mostly been achieved using traditional methods like image based components. While that does solve your basic needs, it does not give your applications the visual edge that can impress your customers or bosses. For example, the charts rendered are static (non-animated), non-interactive and most of them do not support drill-down (click events on data points). To combat that, we at FusionCharts team, have built an innovative charting solution for Visual Basic – FusionCharts for VB (www.fusioncharts.com/VB).

FusionCharts for VB is a charting component for Microsoft® Visual Basic 6.0. It allows you to render interactive and animated charts in your Visual Basic applications. With the ability to render over 37 chart types spanning both 2D and 3D charts, it can render a pretty face to virtually any type of data that is otherwise boring.



The best part is that you do not need to know anything about Adobe Flash™ to use FusionCharts for VB. We have devised the APIs for FusionCharts for VB in such a way that all you need to know is VB - and nothing more! The API allows you to convert data stored in your databases, CSV data files or even plain arrays to stunning charts.



We offer the following features in this product:



• Animated and interactive Flash™ charts in your VB forms

• Simple VB API to embed these charts in your forms

• Charts driven using data from databases, CSV files or plain arrays

• Drill down charts; Each data point in the chart can act as a hotspot which generates VB events

• Charts that can be print and saved as images; Also returns StdPicture object of chart image

• Conceals all XML intricacies (that power FusionCharts v3) from your development





You can download a no-restriction evaluation version from www.fusioncharts.com/VB that NEVER times out.
