A possible solution might be using the CEFSharp control displaying web page and this page displays chart generated with

https://github.com/Indemos/Canvas

<CanvasView @ref="View"></CanvasView>

@code
{
  public CanvasView View { get; set; }

  protected override async Task OnAfterRenderAsync(bool setup)
  {
    if (setup)
    {
      var generator = new Random();
      var points = Enumerable.Range(1, 1000).Select(i => new BarShape 
      { 
        X = i, 
        Y = generator.Next(-5000, 5000) 
      
      } as IItemModel).ToList();
      
      var composer = new Composer
      {
        Name = "Demo",
        Items = points
      };

      await View.Create<CanvasEngine>(engine => composer);

      composer.Update();
    }

    await base.OnAfterRenderAsync(setup);
  }
}

I do it by installing System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization + System.Data.SqlClient

Don't use Forms designer for charts in Winforms core projects. Just create a new Winforms solution with .Net Framework (not core). Then create a chart in a new form by using designer you can adjust it as you want (colors, series...). Copy related chart code (from code behind cs) into your WinForms core project that's it.

Yes, you can do it as I did this.

  1. Install into your WinForms core project Microsoft charts nuget
  2. Install into your WinForms core project other nuget
  3. Remark: Forms designer for charts in Winforms core projects will not work. But you can create a temporary Winforms .Net Framework project. Then create a chart by project form designer.
  4. Then copy chart code into your first WinForms core project.

That's all you need.

Yes it's possible. You can get sample code here https://github.com/dotnet/winforms-datavisualization.

The line chart examples can be found in the folder sample/ChartSamples/ChartTypes/LineCharts.

Note: DataVisualization is deprecated
