hi all

can anyone recommend a decent free graph component for asp.net ?
it should of course support the regular graphs such as bar, xy, pie chart etc and be easy to use and nice to look at...

how's ZedGraph (http://zedgraph.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) ?

thanx,
Noam.

We went with a solution not specific to ASP.NET.

The options we seriously considered were:

We ended up choosing Open Flash Chart. The API wasn't great, but the resulting charts were very nice.

We just fed it JSON, but there's a .NET library to generate its input as well.

Today we may have gone for flot, at the time the stable version didn't support IE8.

We went with gviz, it’s ok, nothing fancy, but answers the basic needs.

gviz (== Google Visualization API) has a nicer API, IMO, for Google Charts, plus it's easier to use the dynamic versions. Examples:

image line chart (Google Charts through gviz, static image)
regular line chart (gviz, dynamic including some interaction)

I almost forgot - if you go the gviz route, implementing a visualization data source or using an existing one (e.g. Gary Bortosky's helper for .NET) can be very helpful.
