Creating a Graph like Performance Monitor in .NET

All of us are familiar with task manager and the "Performance" tab. I want to create that kind of graph in .NET and WinForms. I.e. a line graph that is updatable in real time. It is unclear to me whether this is a GDI+ or DirectX application. Also i can't find examples of anything similar. If anybody has attempted anything like this I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.

Regards
 
A line graph that updates in real-time is easily accomplished with GDI+. In
general you won't find much on
animation in .NET, but it isn't particularly hard. A simple Timer callback
forcing repaints is going to be
enough to get you started. Once you need performance, you can either come back
to this newsgroup and
ask questions on how to speed up the process, or ask the same questions over at
www.windowsforms.net/Forums.

This can be done with GDI+ (just draw some lines ;-).

Maybe one of the charting components included in the VB.NET Res Kit
supports this type of graph:
