Charts based on Access DB?

Post by DJF3 »

Hi,

After a lot of testing and trying I got stuck..
Goal: Create a chart based on MS Access DB data (.MDB file)
How: Using VB(.net?) on my HomeSeer server

Question: Does anyone have a very simple example that does nothing but:
- Read data from an Access DB
- Generate a chart in your web-browser based on that data

Based on a simple example I can use this to extend it...

Thanks!
DJ

If you have the RFXCOM plug-in for Homeseer you will find some examples in the html\RFXUSER directory.
These examples get data from an MS-Access database and the charts are created using ChartDirector. With some modifications you will be able to create the charts using .NET.

I found an open source component very helpful for drawing great looking charts: http://www.visifire.com/

Currently I am in the process of implementing this for my homeseer plugwise plugin, see for a screenshot: http://www.domoticaforum.eu/topic.asp?T ... hichpage=2

Thanks guys, this gave me a few good ideas. The examples in RFXUSER directory indeed are relatively easy to read. The examples of Google Charts and Visifire look very good too.
Merry Xmas!
