I'm on a mind boggling quest to create charts. I want to do it programmatically, but I haven't found a good way to do it. I thought Crystal Reports was a good way to go, but it's a little hokey in .Net (it always konks out when I try to run it...even the examples don't work right!). I was thinking of a custom charting class in C sharp, but that's a little over kill. So now I'm thinking, suck the data into Excel and "Bam!" we'll have charts. I just need to get the data in the correct format. Jon Peltier's Excel Page looks like it can help me.
UPDATE: I found it! This is it! The answer to all of my charting needs! All this time, it was sitting on an internal Microsoft tools website. Doh! I should have:
1) Looked there first instead of spending days in Google world.
2) Figured someone at Microsoft would have noticed the glaring abscence of a .Net charting class/component/widget/doohickey/thingamajig
3) Figured that the one who noticed the lack of the charting class would have done something about it.
Anyways, back to work (on my day off...sigh).
