Pie / Bar / Line Charts

[StevenK]

Am I able to produce charts (line / bar / pie) using Visual Studio .Net C#.
I have an application written in Delphi 5 that made use of a TChart component (standard Borland component with Delphi) such that the user could generate a chart of a selected style from a set of data as set up by themselves. I'm looking at the option of changing this to a C# application (possibly a web application).
Can this be done using standard (given) components or will I need to go through the process of coding this myself (which I can only see as being long-winded).
Are there any (possibly free?) components that will allow me to do this ?
Alternatively would I be able to make use of Seagate Crystal Reports within a Crystal Report Preview component in order to achieve this ?
I'm familiar with Crystal Reports (albeit not the Chart aspect therein).
Can anyone offer me a suggestion with this ?
Thanks in advance.
Steve

you can use MSChart that is available in the .com components of visual studio .net It has some bugs, it's old and is difficult to use, but it's useful, because it's the only one I know to do this

Are there any native components ?
I'm unfamiliar with .com objects - would this be equivalent to an ActiveX component ?
Sorry for my lack of know-how on this one.

The chart control of Microsoft is mostly undocumented.
If somebody has used it in C#. Could he please tell how we intantiate and use for drawing Pie Charts

The charts in Crystal Reports are extremely to use, provided you don't need to change much of what it displays.
