How to create a simple line graph in VB.NET for a website

Question

Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can create a very simple graph for a web application? It is to show energy consumption levels per month for a year at a time.

So basically I want it to look like (assuming my ASCII works)

Yeah it doesn't so I've changed my open id image to the sample

Sorry for the long winded approach - a question for another time - free image hosting by openid (and another site probably)

Answer 1

You should try Google Charts API. There are some nice usage examples that seem to create what you want.

Answer 2

If I were you, I'd take a look at Google's Chart API - it will do exactly what you want with the minimum of hassle.

Answer 3

There is also the new ASP.NET Chart Control.

Answer 4

You can also use the new Silverlight charting components from Microsoft. Free and they will render simply images.

Answer 5

If you don't mind a JavaScript dependency, the Google Visualization API is pretty nifty.

It's a standard interface to many visualizations, including linecharts, image-based line charts (uses the Google Charts API), and many others which may fit your need even better..
