making charts in VB.NET

I'm trying to gather info on whether VB.NET would be right for my
application needs. I need to create basic charts, such as line
charts, bar charts, pie charts, etc., with maybe regression lines
included too, but really nothing heavy. But I do want the charts to
look very good.

Are there any tools in VB.NET that one could use? I am using
Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

Thanks

I use Chartfx. Expensive but does everything you could possibly want

Here's one you might use:

I don't know if there are any licensing restrictions, so you'll want
to check before using it.

Hi

Using the GDI+ tools availabe in .NET you can create some pretty
sophisticated charts without the need to buy third party tools.

There are some very good articles on www.devcity.net written by Ged Mead (an
MVP) that takes you through several types of chart creation using GDI+:

Actually, ChartFX Lite probably will do all that OP wants, too. And, it is
free!

I just looked at it, and it seems pretty close to what I would need,
at least
much of it. One thing it maybe lacks is point picking (being able to
click
on a data point and get info about that point), but it's a good
start. Thanks.
