Charting Controls/Library in .NET

I have an upcoming project that involves generating different charts from reports/data, and found a pretty good charting control.

ASPChart.NET - Data Chart Generation Library
Don't let the ASP in the name fool you. You can use it for WinForms too, as it generates images, instead of html. It's a pretty comprehensive charting library that reads the data off an xml file.

FormChart.NET - Design Time Support
This is more suited for WinForms with design time support. It uses the same data chart library from ASPChart.NET but just encapsulates it around a user control for design time manipulation.

By the way, did I mention they are free?

Do you have any other charting controls or libraries for .NET? Please comment and send me the link. :)

hey

You should try out the Microsoft office web components (OWC) to do charting too.

It has interactive mode support for client machine if its install with MS Office.

The components are also available as a free download from the Microsoft Office website. O.W.C. version 10 for Microsoft Office XP is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=982B0359-0A86- 4FB2-A7EE-5F3A499515DD&displaylang=EN. O.W.C. version 11 for Microsoft Office 2003 is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=7287252C-402E-4F72-97A5- E0FD290D4B76&displaylang=en. O.W.C. 9 is only available on the Microsoft Office 2000 installation media. After the installation process, add the chart, pivot table, and excel objects to the toolbox of Visual Studio or your favorite IDE.

Hmm. Cool. But I'm working on WinForms. Does it work with WinForms or just WebForms?
