Yes there is

AND

For ASP, I also like openflashcharts. But it's more of a hassle.

If not you have to go with a 3rd party which costs money like dundas or telerik.

Answer 2

The first choice would be MsChart but you say that's not working for you. Maybe check your setup, you have to install several things: SP1, MsChart and a VS2008 plugin. I have listed them here. Don't mind the Dutch text, just follow the bulleted list of links.

If that still doesn't work, there are alternatives like ZedGraph
