Summary: nplot.dll & visual studio

Initial Comment:
Hi,

Here is a stupid question from a newbie : how to make nplot available in visual studio ?

Installation is not clearly mentioned on the web site and in the readme.txt ... or I am just looking no at the right place.

I added PlotSurface2D objects linking nplot.dll with Visual Studio "Choose Toolbox Items" window.

But then in I cannot do "Dim lp As NPlot.LinePlot = New NPlot.LinePlot" and even "Imports Nplot.Windows"

I surely missed a stupid thing but what ?

Thanks for your help because I am eager to use nplot !

Francois

Hi Francois,

You have three options.

1. You can get the latest source from the repository, if you don't know
how to do this take a look at
http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=161868

2. You can install MSBEE (see VisualStudio2005_ReadMe.txt in the source
tree)

3. You can make the following changes in the project files (open them in a
text editor)
file--> NPlot.csproj
Change:
  <Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets"
Condition="'$(SharpDevelopBinPath)'=='' AND
'$(TargetFrameworkVersion)'=='v1.1'" />
to
<Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets"
Condition="'$(SharpDevelopBinPath)'=='' AND
'$(TargetFrameworkVersion)'=='v1.1' and
Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets')"
/>

file --> NPlotDemo.csproj
change:
  <Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets"
Condition="'$(SharpDevelopBinPath)'=='' AND
'$(TargetFrameworkVersion)'=='v1.1'" />
to:
<Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets"
Condition="'$(SharpDevelopBinPath)'=='' AND
'$(TargetFrameworkVersion)'=='v1.1' and
Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets')"
/>

I would suggest option 1 to get the lastest code (this configuration has
been fixed in the latest code).  Option 3 is basically doing manually what
has been changed in the latest source.

Hi Jamie,

It started with this demo ; but VS complains that
"MSBee\MSBuildExtras.FX1_1.CSharp.targets" is not found - of course since
MSBee is not installed.

I am working with NS.Net Framework 2.0 but also have version 1.1
installed. Do I really need MSBee ?

The 2006.10.15 pdf document for O'Reilly book only says to link nplot.dll.
This is done but this is probably not enough ??

Hi Francois,

There is a demo project that is with the sourcecode to demonstrate how to
use the various graphing types.

Look for the "demo/csharp" folder in the nPlot tree.
