I'm trying to figure out the best way to create pie charts using visual studio 2005. Can someone give me some advice? Thanks

Hi,

I got a good free third party tool called Webchart to do this, http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/WebChart/

Before I was looking at trying to embed / use Excel - messy... and requires Excel on your server.

The webchart generates a chart object as a graphic for you so no need of excel etc on server. I use it to populate an ASP.Net Image tag on the fly by setting the source to be a page that takes in values and returns the chart object as a bitmap.
