You could also use Office charting:

I agree with Manohar, DundasChart is decent... however it is rather
expensive. For some other options see http://www.aspfaq.com/2170

If your users have fairly current browsers, a killer option is to use
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), now is a W3C recommendation. You build a
description of the chart/drawing with XML (just as you build a
description of an HTML page) and send it to the browser with the HTML.

SVG is easy to write, efficient and is great for drawings, charts, etc.
Currently a browser plugin must be installed. Such a plugin is similar
to the Flash plugin. SVG plugins are available for most new browsers.

The following article shows how to do SVG in ASP:

The article has links for downloading plugins.

See http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/SVG-Implementations
for implementations of the SVG standard or to download various plugins.
