Graphical Charts

[craigward]

Hi,
I am looking for some advice. I need to build a dynamic graphical chart page for our CRM package so we can see what Sales specific users have generated, what activities users have completed and when etc.

In total there are 3 tables to cross reference for this data and I was think of three dropdowns one for listing users, one for type of item .i.e. sales, activity and one for the month.

Would anyone know of a good tutorial or help files, anything that will help a novice .net user achieve this. I have had a look but can’t find what I think is good for beginners. I do however have a lot of experience with classic ASP and SQL.

Oh, my preferred language would be VB.

Thanks in advance.

the data and the charts are 2 different matters. how you get the data and how you display the data separate concerns.

for selecting the data, that simply ADO.Net (and whatever abstraction you may use along with ADO.Net.)

As for the graph, there are plenty of 3rd party reporting frameworks which should solve your problem. google "asp.net report" (or more accurately, "webforms report").
