How to put excel charts on C# wpf

By using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, I can create the excel chart on my C# program and extract to excel file.
But I want to directly put the chart to C# wpf.
If it's not possible, can anyone suggest a simple charting library/dll for me.

if you want to use chart in wpf, you can import DataVisualization.Toolkit and use the chart control

creating asp application with rich text and dynamic row controls

I am familiar with C# standalones but never written any web applications. I need some pointers on c# asp.net applications to do following stuffs.
Create a table profile, insert rows and columns with rich text edit controls, ability to insert images(low priority) and dynamic row manipulations like move rows, insert custom rows (e.g. a data row from a db that can be inserted into my current table profile) and then export different table profiles into tabbed excel sheet.
I am looking at:

I will do my research but since i have no experience on controls available if someone points in right directions on concepts which is suitable for this as this looks more complex for 1st app it will be helpful

I would recommend you Kendo UI framework that allows to do what you need. This is a website with demo - http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/index. It allows to make Excel and PDF export as well.

How to generate excel like report in WPF?

I have this Excel Sheet That I want to generate from my WPF Application, What is the easiest way to do so, bear in mind that the table in the sheet may have many containers and each container may have one or more sizes and so on as shown.
I'v looked at the ReportViewer provided in WPF but I don't know how to design such a report using the ReportViewer.
Another thing came to my mind is to fill the excel sheet from the WPF and I found a way to do so by specifying tags (Ex: Date: ) in which I can fill these tags from my WPF application, but I don't know who to generate tables and set their columns and rows according to the data in the database.
Thank you.

Did you try adding Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel as a dll, and try the code given here.
Or have a look at this sample:
WPF Spreadsheet

I have made good experience with the EPPlus library. The nice thing is, you don't need any MS Office components on your OS to generate the excel files.

How to create an Excel Pie Chart using Infragistics and c#?

I'm developing a web site using c# and MVC4. In one of the sections I have a couple of pie charts that are created using highcharts lib and are based on a table of totals next to the charts.
I need to export to excel both the table with the totals and the charts, and I need to do it in a way in which, once exported, if the table changes in excel the graph will also be updated inside the spreadsheet.
My company is using Infragistics to export to excel, so exporting the table is not a problem, but I'm not sure how to export the pie charts.
I saw this example where a pivot table is created and feed to the table, but I noticed that it is using native excel libraries instead of Infragistics, I've been trying to migrate this but can't seem to find the equivalent to Excel.Application inside Infragistics lib.
Another solution that occur to me is that maybe I can enter a formula inside a cell and have it create the pie chart but I don't think this is possible since, if I'm not wrong, the pie chart is not even included in a cell, but it is a graphic that floats inside the spreadsheet.
So if anyone has had any experience drawing a pie chart from c# to excel using Infragistics and can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

I am a developer at Infragistics and work on the Excel library. Currently, charts will be round-tripped when a file is loaded and saved, but they cannot be manipulated or created at run-time in our object model. You can submit a feature request for this ability here: http://ideas.infragistics.com/

Using Infragistics, I don't know if you can create an Excel pie chart, but if you want to create it in a web or windows application, use this:

SilverLight DataGrid: Copy & paste

Is there a way that I can select a bunch of rows or cells from a SilverLight DataGrid and Copy them for pasting into e.g. excel?
The DataGrid doesn't seem to have this functionality built in!
Thanks a lot

Silverlight 4 is great, Ctrl-A a datagrid, copy and paste it into Excel.
You can even customize what gets copied using ClipboardContentBinding, which is quite useful if you are using a TemplateColumn.

I would check out this link - seems fairly useful
http://weblogs.asp.net/manishdalal/archive/2008/11/12/cross-browser-copy-and-paste-in-datagrid-with-excel-support-part-1.aspx

Silverlight uses a vector rendering system. The text is not the same as text in Notepad- it's being rendered as a vector image. You can't highlight text in Silverlight or Flash.
If you're writing the app, offer a "download Excel file" button that redirects to an Excel file generator.

Are you looking to do this programmatically? If so, then you are out of luck with Silverlight 3. Silverlight 4 is supposed to add this functionality.
