I was always for a “built-in” support of features in modern development environment. Even if it comes in basic form, we, as programmers, should have ability to do “basic” stuff without 3rd party involvement.
There are plenty of 3rd party solutions on the market which would help you include some kind of charting support with your ASP pages - ChartFX, ComponentArt’s Charting, Dundas Chart - these are just few from many available on the market today.
As it turned out, Microsoft has decided to add out-of-the-box support for Charting as well - <asp:chart runat=”server”/>.
Today I have got a link to a nice post by Scott Guthrie - New ASP.NET Charting Control: <asp:chart runat=”server”/> - everything you need to know about a new addition to the Microsoft control library for ASP.Net 3.5.
If you like to read more, then Alex Gorev has posted a Microsoft Chart Control vs. Dundas Chart Control.
Note 1: Even though caption says it is ASP.Net solution, in the original you would find link to WinForms sample as well.
Note 2: Do not worry about Dundas copyright - “Microsoft acquired Dundas Data Visualization Intellectual Property in April 2007.”

When installing SQL Server 2008 one can run into “‘Reboot required check’ failed” situation.
After seeing it few times already, I think a solution is worth mentioning.
“Why don’t you just reboot?”, you say… Well, most likely it would not help you, but try it first.
If this would not help, then try the following:
- Start regedit.exe
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
- Locate PendingFileRenameOperations
- Remove any data assocuated with the value (you may want to export the value for later review)
- Reboot and rerun installation, check should pass.

Some time ago I have wrote about steps Microsoft was making into multi-touch interface support inside Windows application.
If you visited PDC 2008, then you probably already heard that Microsoft had officially presented a new .Net framework/API which would be available as part of Windows 7.
If you have missed PDC 2008 this year, you can watch it online here
