ActiveX vs NET v3 Pro

ActiveX controls are supported in .NET. However, ActiveX controls can be cumbersome to work with in .NET, and usually do not take full advantage of the .NET platform. If you are upgrading your application from an older platform to Visual Studio .NET 2005/8/10/12, consider upgrading to XY Chart NET Pro. Plus take advantage of the many new features only available in XY Chart NET Pro.
