Interactive .NET Charting tools?

.net, charts

Solution

Try Microsoft Chart Controls for .Net 3.5 they also include nice demo application where you can browse the chart samples and see how it works with code samples.

These Chart Controls are by default included in .Net 4.0 so no separate installation is needed.

Problem

We are looking to implement some complex charting graphs for a new application we are building. Some of the charts are scatter graphs that sometimes have a high clustering of data in specfic areas. Is there a charting tool that is similar to Google Maps that gives you a high level view, and then if there is too much clustering, a user can zoom in on a specific area to get a more detailed look and the points start spreading out? Free or otherwise isn't an issue.
