Financial charts in .NET? Best library to display a live streaming 1-min stock chart? [closed]

Question

We are using C# .NET.

We're looking for a method to display live streaming 1-min financial stock charts.

Need: - Candlesticks - Zoom/pan - The chart scrolling in real time as it receives streaming data

Woud like: - A method to print metadata on the chart (buy/sell points, etc)

We don't mind paying for it, so any recommendation goes!

My research eventually led to these packages:

* StockChartX WPF       o http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Programming/Misc__Programming_Tools/Stock_Chart_X_Financial_Chart_Component.html       o Rating: B.       o Pros:             + Very powerful             + Nice looking             + Has a WPF version, see http://www.modulusfe.com/stockchartxwpf/             + Real-time automatic technical analysis updating       o Cons:No scroll with the mouse (for non-WPF version, WPF version has mouse scrolling)       o Cost: US$350 (AciveX) to US$529 (WPF)       o Notes: StockChartX uses a function named AppendValue (series name, date, value). You actually "push" data into StockChartX, so it does not matter where the data is coming from, be it a database, text file, XML file, or real time tick-by-tick data - it all goes into StockChartX the same way, simple, quick, and easy!  * Dundas       o Pros:       o Video demonstration on charting (4 videos): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaDHjUTri7c * NetAdvantage       o Pros:             + incredibly powerful             + supports financial charts including, Gantt and radar charts       o Cost: >US$700       o Video demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW7pBNF51Mo       o Video overview: http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/video/0,297151,sid92_gci1356440,00.html       o Video tutorial on samples: http://www.infragistics.com/videos/get-started/intro-to-samples.aspx       o Video tutorial on charting: http://www.infragistics.com/FullMovie.aspx?id=3476 * AnyChart       o Supports financial charts       o US$500       o For OHLC chart tutorial, see http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/index.html?Chart-Types.html * Financial Charting Component (for .NET 2.0) v1.0       o NumeralTechnology       o http://www.numeraltechnology.com/shop/       o Rating: C       o Cost: US$350       o Gallery: see http://www.numeraltechnology.com/shop/custom.aspx?recid=14 * TeeChart .NET       o http://www.steema.com/ordering/order_tchnet_n.shtml       o Rating: Yet to try.       o Cost: US$700       o http://demos.telerik.com/wpf/ * RadControls for WPF       o Rating: A       o Pros: very nice, does everything we want       o Cost: US$999 * Chart Control .NET       o http://www.chartcontrol.net/Chart_gal.htm * NextWave Chart for WPF       o http://www.nextwavesoft.com/products/nextwave-chart-for-wpf * Barchart WPF       o http://www.syncfusion.com       o Cons: doesnt seem to be specialized for financial functions * DevExpress       o http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/Charting/screenshot_gallery.xml       o Pros: design wizard that allows you to customize charts with the greatest of ease with onscreen design, see:             + http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/Charting/design.xml       o Cons:             + None.       o Cost:             + $249 for an individual component, or $1999 for the full enterprise version * Super Graph Library       o http://www.supergraphlibrary.com/
