display charts using asp.net

Question

Hello,

I have developed a GUI using ASP.NET 3.5 and C#....

Now at some places i need to display the data using graphs like pie or bar...

I need to know how to start to do this...As in i was going through Crystal Reports, the there was something about MS charts...i need to know where can i read the tutorial and then implement it in my GUI...

I also like to know the Licence type.. i am looking for something that is free to try and distribute..

Thanks

Answer 1

MS charts, yes. They're free

And ScottGu introduces them here (with links to documentation)

Answer 2

I can really recommend going for a third party library like Infragistics or Dundas. They are not that expensive and give you much richer functionality.

Answer 3

ZedGraph (http://zedgraph.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main%5FPage) is another one - with sourcecode.

I'm using it in many Projects.
