I just started using ANTS 4 .NET profiler and I am looking for something similar to their Call Graph to implement in our own WinForms application(s). In essence, we are looking for a rich (animated) control that we could use to display the relationship between objects in our application - such as the hierarchal relationships between customers and their available addresses.

Are their any similar controls on the market? Or will I have to look into implementing something like this from scratch?

Dundas used to have diagram control. But I think they're discontinued.

We use go.net from Northwoods. The version we use is for windows forms. Its super flexible and their support is top notch.

A variant (actually the direct predecessor) of go.net can be found at sourceforge. It doesn't have any updates (as development stopped when Northwoods acquired it), but if you can don't mind maintaining it internally (and whatever license requirements for external): http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69788&package_id=123851

Didn't want to answer my own question, but from looking at the ANTS 4 DLL's included in the application (I forgot to do this earlier), They are using yWorks for their diagramming and charting controls. yWorks package for .net is simply amazing, I have been playing around with it for the better part of a week and it is quite entertaining to work with.
