Im trying to get started with silverlight for wp7 and I understand its Silverlight 4 that is the current version running on the WP7. So i installed Silverlight 4 and then installed the latest (?) toolkit for Silverlight for Wp7 (November 2011) but I cant seem to find the datavisualizer required to make charts in the following directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Toolkit\Oct11\Bin
(i know it stands Oct11, but thats what i got when I installed it)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Libraries\Silverlight
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Silverlight\v4.0\Libraries\Client
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\4.0.50826.0
What do I need to install to get the System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit.dll?
The datavisualization library is only references in the full Silverlight toolkit and not in the Windows Phone one.
It seems like you’re trying to use the Silverlight 4 toolkit in a Windows Phone app. This is not supported.
Windows Phone 7.1 is based on Silverlight 4 but it does not support all the features of Silverlight 4.
The charts controls are not supported in the Windows Phone version of the toolkit.
If you’re looking for a charting solution for Windows Phone you’ll have to look elsewhere. I know the solutions from amCharts, Telerik, visiblox and Mindscape are popular but there are probably others out there also.
