Download: The Developer's Guide to IoT

The IoT world may be exciting, but there are serious technical challenges that need to be addressed, especially by developers. In this handbook, learn how to meet the security, analytics, and testing requirements for IoT applications.

I need to make a scrolling graph, similar to a strip chart recorder, in VB.NET. I know .NET doesn't supply a graph object and I've played with the graphics trying to draw one... but in order to get it to scroll, I have to repaint and that makes the display flicker. Is there any way to do this without the flicker? Or should I be looking at Labview? Thanks.
You should be able to place your graphic on a scrollable panel and scroll the panel. This should remove the flicker and allow the user to display parts of the graph after it has scrolled out of view.
