Esporta i dati dei grafici in CSV da WinForms

Febbraio 2, 2026
Consenti alle app WinForms la possibilità di esportare grafici in formato CSV, rendendo i dati dei grafici disponibili per l'uso in report, fogli di calcolo e sistemi esterni.

Exporting charts to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) allows users to extract underlying chart data into a simple, portable text format that can be easily opened in spreadsheet applications or processed by other tools. This feature is particularly useful for reporting, data analysis, auditing, and integration apps, as it decouples the visual presentation of data from the raw numerical or categorical information it represents. By enabling quick access to chart data in a structured format, exporting to CSV enhances interoperability across systems and supports a wider range of use cases.

Several WinForms charting components allow you to export to CSV, including:

  • TeeChart for .NET Pro Edition by Steema Software offers built-in export capabilities that allow developers to save chart data directly to CSV with customizable formatting options.
  • .netCHARTING is a comprehensive charting library that provides the ability to export charts to various image and document formats in WinForms applications.
  • ProEssentials by GigaSoft integrates into WinForms apps and offers chart export to various formats and includes options for exporting underlying data in editable text form.

DevExpress Universal 25.2 aggiunge una nuova API che permette alle app di interpretare l'intento dell'utente e applicare modifiche direttamente ai componenti e alla logica dell'interfaccia utente durante l'esecuzione.

DevExpress Universal is a comprehensive suite of UI components and developer tools that supports the creation of feature-rich applications across web, desktop, and mobile platforms, including .NET, JavaScript, Blazor, ASP.NET, WinForms, WPF, and MAUI. It focuses on delivering consistent user interfaces, advanced data visualization, reporting, dashboards, and productivity features that help teams design, build, and maintain complex applications using a unified set of technologies and patterns.

DevExpress Universal v25.2 introduces AI Tool Calling (Natural Language Control for UI Components), a cross-platform feature that extends Microsoft.Extensions.AI tool-calling to enable natural-language interaction with application UI and logic. Developers can expose UI components, ViewModels, and business services as AI-invokable tools, grouped into dynamic toolsets that adapt to the application’s current context. When users interact through the DevExpress AI Chat Control, the language model interprets their request, selects the appropriate tool, resolves the target instance, and executes the action in real time, making applications easier to use while giving developers full control over what the AI can see and do.
