Open source flash charting for .Net is nice
It renders charts / graphs like google analytics

Will this work with VS 2005 also since I beleive this is an older control?

Hello bobmmp,
Since MS chart is inherited or using Dundas charts, I personally believe it must support VS 2005, right now I havent tested but will let you know soon after verifying.

Wow... finally. A useful and easy component based control that works simple and well with VS 2008 without a lot of code. This is a God send for departments without budgets.

I wonder if the chart control needs to be installed on the client machine, too.
Can you shed some light on that?
Thanks in advance
