I need update a vb project to vs 2005.
I am wondering if there is a way to add a Acess chart to winform or/and
Active Report.
We use OLE object to add the Access Chart in winform and Active Report in
VB6.
How can I add it in VS 2005?

Thanks
 
VS2005 comes with a ReportView component from which you can generate a .rdlc
file which is practically the same as the Sql Server(2000) Reporting Services
..rdl file. The toolbox for a .rdlc file (which is like a .vb file except for
reporting stuff) contains a table tool, chart tool, line tool, list tool,
subreport tool, and a few other goodies.

Add a new form to your project and drop a ReportViewer component on the
form. In the smart tag you can select a new .rdlc which will show up in the
solution explorer -- may actually open up to the .rdlc window. If it doesn't
-- then select the new .rdlc from the solution explorer -- right click and
select open. It is kind of similar to an MS Access report also -- but closer
to a Reporting Services .rdl.

VS2005 has pretty good documentation on using the reportviewer and has some
sample apps -- or you can go to msdn

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/24a9s690(VS.80).aspx

Here you will find a lot of useful information on the reportviewer.
