[thelist] Charting with Office Web Components (was my-platform-is-better...)

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

Jason,

	Any idea of how scalable that solution would be?  I've used Word
as a spellchecker in C# winform apps -- docs suck for that too -- but it
seems like these office objects that were built for single-threading
might get choked on a web server.
	How has performance been for your app, and did you do anything
special to take the load off the OWC part?

Cheers,

Peter

OK, come on, enough with the my-platform-is-better-than-yours insults,
already. Let's be tippy not snippy!

Components">

If you're writing a web application to run on a Windows server, you can
use the Office Web Components to do chart generation for you. You can
pretty much do anything that's possible in Excel. The documentation for
programming OWC is pretty rubbish, but I picked my way through the
process using Intellisense in Visual Studio .NET.
