  I have several programs written in VB.NET 4 where I have extensively used C1Chart. Now I need to convert my applications to .NET 8.
  
  However, the only chart control I seem to find is FlexChart, and its structure is completely different from C1Chart.
  
  Is there a .NET 8 version of C1Chart available?
  
  Alternatively, is there any tool that can help convert code written for C1Chart into FlexChart code?

  Thank you in advance for your help.

  I am attaching some examples of chart usage, where I rely on features such as groups, interactions, and other functionalities that do not appear to exist in FlexChart.

  Hello,

  Based on your requirements for .NET 8, here is the information:

  → Is there a .NET 8 version of C1Chart?
  
  No, there is no .NET 8 version of the legacy C1Chart control. For modern platforms like .NET 6, 8, or 10, we recommend using FlexChart.

  → Is there an automated conversion tool?
  
  There is no direct migration tool from C1Chart to FlexChart, but the FlexChart’s documentation provides comprehensive guidance on how to add series, use various chart types, and work with different chart elements, interactions, and features: https://developer.mescius.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexchart/overview.html

  While the structure is different, FlexChart is highly capable and supports the advanced interactions and data grouping. You can explore the implementation of these features through our official documentation:

  • https://developer.mescius.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexchart/elements/series
  • https://developer.mescius.com/componentone/docs/win/online-flexchart/enduser-interaction

  You can also find product samples located at the following location on your machine if you have installed sample while installing the C1 WinForms Suite using componentOneControlPanel:
  
  *~\Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\v4.8\FlexChart\CS*

  If samples are not available/installed, please repair C1 installation and include samples.

  If you further face any issues while migrating from C1Chart to FlexChart, feel free to reach out.

  Regards,
  
  Uttkarsh.
