Default Making graphs using C#

Is there a way in which I can make graphs from data retrieved from a database and display them to a user!? What I am really asking is if there is a component or class, which I can use for doing this task!?

The thing is that I have data in a database online, and I would like to do a module in C# that makes a visual representation of that data. Furthermore I have a requirement that says that it should be easy to cut&paste it to e.g. a power point presentation. Is that possible and how!?

Thanks

Jacob.

From my experience there are no built in classes that generate charts/graphs. We use a third part component for those tasks. .Net does come packaged with Crystal reports but I have never used them.

Once you have a chart/graph generated, if it's in the form of a simple image, you should be able to easily copy and paste it into any other windows application.

It looks great! Thanks guys. I think I will try the Starter Kit, but I am a bit unsure what the GDI+ is and if my ISP supports this!?

Crystal Reports... I have heard about it. Has it got chart/graph feature, and does it make graphics for cut&paste!? Moreover is it part of the .NET framework or should I get something additional!?

Peter... What third part component do you use!?

Thanks again.

Jacob.

We use Corda. Their graphs are pretty neat cause they can render as flash for some nice interactive features. And all the graph templates are in XML instead of a cryptic proprietary format.
