.NET Developers everywhere recently rejoiced when Microsoft released a new Chart Control, designed to be used in ASP.NET 3.5 web applications as well as "Windows Forms" applications. This follows Microsoft's earlier acquisition of Dundas - known for their Chart Controls.

Though the source for the controls are closed, the controls are downloadable at no cost, and can be distributed royalty free. Good enough for me!

Can't wait to put these to good use! I can smell a sparkling SharePoint web part in here somewhere...

What you need:

1. The Chart Control - must be installed in GAC
2. Visual Studio 2008 Tool Support for the Chart Controls
