aaTrendControl1.AddServerEx(Server,"","",true);
aaTrendControl1.TagPicker.FilterVisible = true;
aaTrendControl1.Servers.QuickLogon();
endif;

I have posted some code examples based on the aaTrendControl .Net component, but it was blocked, I have appealed to this and await for it to be manually reviewed, I think code examples are automatically flagged for review by the forum.

Lets hope it is available soon 

There is some guidance for this in the Historian Client documentation, in Chapter 7 Controls and Objects. Just a small sample for how to script the connection of the control to the Historian server, and a description of properties and methods.

Approved 

Hi Richard, thanks a lot !!

Would be good to get sample projects like these, very helpful to our SI community

Thank you Rickard! does that include code review? ;)

Are all the Historian client properties available in Active X , available in .NET Historian client ? Anything that can hold back a customer from migrating ?

Also another request if all the manuals can be made available online/ publicly available like the AVEVA Insight help guide. I think the more open we are with the documentation, the better our SI's can use the product, Having similar issue with AVEVA Edge where i have to download the ISO to access help files.

You are correct, all manuals are available through the Installation Media, witch is available online.
It can be a challenge to provide this online since they are very version dependent (changes between versions, service packs and patches).

But it is in the pipeline, I think https://docs.aveva.com/ will be where much is to be available in the future, but I can not find any Historian Client sections there, yet.
