Microsoft today announced the (out-of-band) release of the ASP.NET Chart Control<\/a> for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.\u00a0 The ASP.NET Chart Control is a free, full-featured chart control package which enables developers to easily add rich data visualization to ASP.NET and Windows Forms applications.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Acquired from Dundas Software, the industry leader in .NET charting solutions, the ASP.NET Chart Control is a highly comprehensive, powerful, and easy-to-use solution for adding simple to advanced interactive charts and graphs to applications with minimal coding.\u00a0 Similar functionality resulting from the technology acquisition from Dundas was released earlier in SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Report Builder 2.0.<\/b><\/p>\n

Releasing this technology in the .NET Framework will save developers effort by allowing their end users to quickly setup and visually configure charts without writing a single line of code. Until now, customers had to purchase this capability from 3rd<\/sup> party vendors or spend a great deal of effort developing their own controls.<\/p>\n
