Should I be able to add Chart object from toolbox in VS 2005?

[g3000]

When I try to add all the components from owc11.dll to my toolbox
nothing happens.

The checkboxes are checked by all the components but when I click ok
nothing is added to my toolbox.

I saw a resolution to a bug for the beta that said you shouldnt be able
to do this but does that apply to the production version?

If so, how do I add those items at design time?

Thank you for your time,
Carlton G

Hi Carlton,

Can you be more explicit about the programming environment you are using ?
Visual Studio 2003 ? Eclipse ? Plex ? Notepad ? Any environment com-capable
??

If you are under visual studio, i suggest you to include the -com- objects
instead of the dll directly. Ant just a tip : these components won't appear
on the "Windows/Web forms" toolbar, but in the "Components" one.

Hope this helps,

Tonio

Im in Visual Studio 2005 and Im trying to use OWC11.dll to create a
chart.

When I add that component to the toolbox it does not add.

But that component does appear on the toolbox when I open up a windows
forms project.

I found an example here:
http://aspnetresources.com/articles/office_web_components.aspx

but it was created in VS Studio 2K3

it uses a directive like

using OWC11;

but when I try to build it after converting it, I get an error tha I
did not add a reference.
So I add a reference and it still does not work.

2005 does not allow OWC to show up. I really have no idea why this has been
disabled.

Thanks Alvin I finally added

using Microsoft.Office.Interop.OWC11;

But that did not work either, just tells me that im missing a using
directive or I need to add a reference.

So it would be safe to say that you CANNOT use Visual Studio 2K5 for
Office Web Components development?

I've got the same problem. I need to use Pivot Table, a component in OWC.
This is working with windows application, but not for ASP.NET.

Can someone help us?

OWC use has been disabled in VS2005. As far as I know, there is no
work-around.
