Google recently released a web services API for charting (see [login to view URL]). We've started writing an ASP.NET wrapper for this service (source code attached) and we'd like you to finish it for us. Currently the wrapper takes the form of an ASP.NET User Control (.ascx). It can display a basic chart containing hard-coded values on a test page. We need the following tasks to complete this project: 1) The Google Chart API requires that you encode data as an alphanumeric string. They provide a Javascript function to convert an array to an encoded string ([login to view URL]). You should port this function to C# and incorporate it into the user control so a developer can assign an array of values to the chart. The chart should render correctly when the array is populated by doubles of any size (including missing values). 2) Make sure the control works for any of the 10 types of charts supported by the chart API (we have defined a property and an enumeration to specify each chart type). 3) Provide a way for the chart to accept multiple data series where appropriate (line chart and bar charts). 4) Map the remaining properties of the chart API to properties of the user control, including the ability to change color of the chart and data series, legend and title, and background.

Hi all, A few bidders requested that I extend the amount of time to complete this project, so I increased it from 4 to 10 days. I'm hoping that will be sufficient; if not, please let me know. Thanks, Jeffrey
