After seeing the "Elastic" post below, I thought I'd release my ElasticForms module 'cause this one actually *does* resize the components on the form (even lines). It's pretty tight, fast and it even allows you to set a min width and min height for a form. A zip containing the source and an example project can be found on my home page...

Displays a basic analog clock on a form. CREDIT FOR THE ORIGINAL CODE GOES TO: Boriza I enjoyed his code so much I had to add a couple of quick improvements. Incrementally uncomment the code lines in the Form_Load event for different clock positions on the form.

Update---------------------------------------- This is an improved version of previos DLL.

WARNING: Terry has pointed out a glaring error in my code that has baffled me. Somewhere along the line I have coded an error into the property page that causes an error and I haven't located it yet. I'm going to warn everyone about it until I fix it but leave it on here so you can still use the example of the functions in the control. If you see my mistake then pls let me know! Cheers.

Creating bar and line charts is fairly well documented on the MSDN CD, but 2D XY (what I call XY scatter graphs) are not. This example demonstrates a method to not only create 2D XY graphs, but also plot multiple series on the same chart. The things that need to be done are pretty esoteric, including using multiple DataGrid columns for each series, removing null points from one or more series, etc., which makes this kind of graph very unique. This example also illustrates some other properties and methods that can be useful for other types of charts.
