Microsoft released a new ASP.NET Charting Control recently. It looks very promising:

Yes, in the future somewhere, when a day has 48 hours.
Or maybe a bit earlier[:)]

The future begins today.[:)]
First need to update VS2008 to SP1, also .NET FW 3.5, documentation is nearly 6MB CHM file, so this can take a while...
But since i had plans for a new page with charts i thought why not give it a try right now.[:p]

I upgraded from VS2005 to VS2008 SP1 and had a little play with the samples. 1st impressions are also very good.

Now I just need some of those 48 hour days to learn it and and compare with ChartDirector.[:)]

I'll try and see if i can put the samples on my website soon, so anyone who's interested can have a look and decide if it's worth the investment (in time i mean: i had to wait 1.5 hours for everything to be up to date [:(] (VS2008 and .NET FW)).

Has anybody looked at the <b>Google Chart API</b>? (http://code.google.com/apis/chart/) . Looks very promising!

You can generate some nice looking charts with simple URL calls. Learning curve is not so steep, documentation is comprehensive and easy to understand.

Regards,

Flexer

85-90% of the pages work, some not cause i don't have Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 installed on the machine.

But still a lot of examples, code behind, realtime user customization etc.

Google Chart API only supports URL.
That shouldn't be hard from VB.NET.
However i wonder what happens if there is >2k data is involved.

I'd like to use it stand alone, so it Will always work. Also when there is no internet connection.

Or does someone found a free same look a like control for vb.net. I saw the xanura has also a picture of it on their website.
