Is there a project to support: .Net and C#?

Hi Guys,

We have an app that uses both JFreeChart and JFreeReport.
The product is now being extended to also support .NET and beign rewritten in C#.

Of course, we want to keep JFree and JFreeReport!

Is there a project out there that has ported this excellent software? We really don't want to move away from it, it rocks!

Hi,

well, there is none of which I'm aware of. You might want to try 'IKVM' (http://www.ikvm.net/), which is an project to build a JVM for the .NET class library.

It is uses Classpath as Java-side implementation. This means, with some luck, you'll get JFreeChart up and running, but JFreeReport will not work (for now). If everything fails, you can always go the 'Web-Service' way; although this can be a pain if you want full interactivity.

Regards,
Thomas

Thanks Thomas.

An alternative is if the company will support a porting project then maybe we can do this. Would a port to C# be of any interest to the project?

I would like to see a C# port, but realistically I don't have enough time to commit to it. If I was doing it, I'd try to maintain compatibility with Mono, perhaps via Cairo which I know can be used quite successfully to render JFreeChart output (I used this route to get JFreeChart working with GNU Classpath). But that's just my take on it.

I know there is some interest around, so let's keep this thread alive and see if a group forms to take on the task...

Hi,

I've been working on converting a Java jfreereport-based library to .net using IKVM. I keep running into exceptions and I finally started researching and found this topic. It was mentioned that IKVM won't work for jfreereport, or 'not yet'. Can you explain what the fundamental problem is? And is it something that needs to be fixed in the GNU classpath dll? Is there any hope or should I go back to just wrapping my java app in a shell script and spawning it from C# code?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi

Is there already a port to C# or a possibility to use the API from ASP.NET or a webservice?

Thank you for the link!

I will try to make your project and the port more commonly known as your project is the best free charting solution for Java I came along

Can someone use the project behind the link to make a port for the actual version to (ASP).NET 3.5?
