producing graphs is producing them for the Financial Services market. Productmanufacturers will include many different benefits in their products and they usually like toillustrate point-in-time scenarios. Additionally, they will include other requirements such as
special shading, labels, non-standard start and end points, and daily data points. By using

Why Nevron?
We have been using Nevron Chart (ActiveX and .Net) for several years. When we expanded
our development efforts to .Net 2.0, we decided to conduct a new component comparison tofind a tool which would best fit our new architecture. After comparing license costs,functionality, ease of development with technical support on numerous free-ware controls,controls with reduced functionality, and full featured controls, Nevron products were wellahead of the competition, with their .Net Vision offering.
Nevron is one of the few companies I reviewed that provided an enterprise license thatcovered our web/desktop deployment needs with a single royalty-free distribution license.
This offering was one of the most important factors in deciding to purchase the component.
Many other companies license their web and desktop components separately. Once you areable to decipher a competitors license agreements, you can find yourself paying thousands ofdollars in licensing fees for a component that provides similar or less functionality thanNevron Chart.

The chart control is a breeze to program. Developers can start producing charts, both webforms and WinForms, within hours. Additionally, with all of the project samples provided
with the control and the code generation capabilities included with the samples,developers can look behind the scenes to see how certain aspects of the charts arecreated. This in itself reduces the chart creation learning curve.

Solution Highlights
We are strictly a Microsoft Shop using Microsoft solutions. We have used Nevron Chart in allof our solutions starting with DevStudio 5 using ActiveX controls. Currently, we are using .Net
Vision in the .Net 3.0 Framework.

Nevron Chart’s selection of chart types and styles are outstanding and surpass theircompetition in many regards. We produce sophisticated financial charts, but we have only
scratched the surface of what this control is capable of doing. I can’t wait to see if Nevrondoes anything with Microsoft’s Silverlight!
Lastly, Nevron’s customer support is superb. Nevron has always provided top notch
examples, explanations, and code samples for the more elusive aspects of complicatedgraphs. Nevron Technical Support has a quick turnaround time on any issue. It is difficultto find support like this from any vendor.

Presently, we bind all of our charts to business objects and do not bind them to a database. If
we did, the database would be MS SQL Server.
We usually have a few developers work on chart solutions. From time to time, thosedevelopers are busy with other products and a new developer will need to incorporate thecharts into their own projects.
