Chart management for Microsoft Windows 8 style apps

We have some kind of chart control available in metro style in style 8. In WP7 (.Net ver 4.0) we have the Windows.Form.DataVisualization.dll file for managing the chart. This DLL also comes with .Net for metro-style applications (Net ver 4.5). But referring to this DLL from (.Net ver 4.5 folder), it gives 2 build errors, as shown below.

Error 8: Cannot resolve assembly or Windows metadata file "System.Windows.Forms.dll" E: \ MyFolfer \ MetroApp \ ChartApp \ ChartApp.csproj

Error 9: The universe type cannot resolve the assembly: System.Windows.Forms, Version = 4.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = b77a5c561934e089. Chartapp

Any idea ...

Note: Preferred options without payment.

You cannot do winforms in WinRT. This is a new interface and API.

Telerik is supposedly working on a chart component.

You can create Metro Style apps using HTML5-Javacript so you can use the dhtmlx GPL project

On the home page:

dhtmlxChart is a clean JavaScript chart library for creating Ajax charts on a web page

, API- Google Image Chart: https://developers.google.com/chart/image/

The API was deprecated and will no longer work after April 2015, but by this time I assume that there will be a number of other providers to choose from.
