I am trying to determine if the .Net framework 3.5 SP1 is modified during the install of the chart components or if the framework already carries the component. All the install instructions I find refer to the development environment. If I create a chart and then want to use it in production will the .Net framework know what to do with it? I want to be sure that I am only touching a development environment during the installs and that a production environment does not need to be updated.

MSChart installs a couple DLLs in a separate folder on your computer and puts them in the GAC. It does not affect the existing .NET Framework installed.

Sorry, but when I run mschart.exe it looks like it is affecting the .net framework. I am just trying to ensure that it is not because that is the way the installer looks like when it runs. So I do not have to do anything to the webserver on the production network to make the charts work? (In regards to the framework. I know I have to have certain settings configured)

Thanks for the reply!

Howchart installationaffects the .NET Framework in your case?

I was not sure that it did. It just looks like it does because the installer shows "Installing .Net Framework.." on the bottom bar. I believe it is the same way that the add on to VS 2008 shows "Installing VS 2008". It really is not doing that, but Ijust wanted to be sure. Further investigation seems to verify your response as I figured it would! Thanks for all the help!
