To update or not to update an article
-
I was working on a new version of a C# chart control that I shared here a while back(.net 2 winforms). Meanwhile I noticed that Microsoft released[^] a great flexible chart control library for .net 3.5(I think they bought parts or all of the Dundas chart ccontrols.) I think there might be someone who really uses it and have not a plan to upgrade to version 3.5 of .net framework soon. I also know that I probably won't use new features that I'm working on them but it doesn't take too much time(1 to 2 hours a day at most.) What do you think? Do you believe it's worth spending more time on my control and upgrade it?

Hamed, I took a look at the articles you did on charting. Not sure which one you are referring to, but I'd go ahead and update your article anyways even though Microsoft released their version of the Dundas charts.

There's something in one of the blogs about that being so.

The C# one. I think MFC is getting too old and less people use it for creating UIs these days. Also updating that takes longer I guess.

Yes. Thanks. Now that I've done some of the work it's worth finishing it, I believe. Thanks for sharing your opinion. :)

No problem, man. Keep the article going because, not only is it cool, but it serves as an educational tool for the developer community who want to learn how to implement such controls :)

Wow! That's motivating. I am learning design patterns right now and had in mind a major upgrade to the overall structure of the control. Such a goal gives me a good reason to do that as well. Thank you so much. :)
