Graph data in flat file

I was wondering if asp net has the capability to creat a graph of data stored
in a csv file and present it on a web page using visual basic code. The data
looks something like:

NAME,88.2,81.3,76.2,90.2

If there are any ideas, or examples of how to do this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
You can read a CSV file using the OLEDB namespace objects. Once you have the
data from the CSV into a DataSet, you can link any graph object I know of to
the DataSet. If for some reason you cannot read the CSV as a data source,
you can open it and place the data in a DataSet. And, many graph objects
allow setting up the items to be graphed programmatically. There are even
some free graph controls out there.

If you want to do it yourself with GDI+, you can go that route, but it gets
a lot headier than simply buying (or downloading) a graph control.
