Hi guys, firstly I would like to introduce myself. I am currently an Automation developer and have experience in VB Scripting. I would like to get back into programming and as a first project am about to pick up C#.

I am interested in making an application that retrieves live stock prices using Web Services and then draws a graph which updates as do the prices.

Can someone please tell me what I need in order to make this application; what framework, can it be done in C# and what modules I may need to draw the graphs?

Also what is the best development environment that I should use?

Thanks

Bad

If you will be developing in visual studio, look into the DEVEXPRESS controls. These are add-ins that offer lots of extra powerful functions to common controls such as buttons, text/combo boxes, grids, graphs, etc etc...

They may or may not be free... You'll have to 'look' into it.
