SharePoint 2007- ASP:Chart

In a recent project one of the requirements was to produce a chart from 
data held within a SharePoint list.  
 
To fulfil this requirement I used the asp:Chart control.  The following steps outline how to set this up:
 
Setup
 
Namespace:


<%
@ Register Assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization,

                      Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,

                      PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"

             Namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting"

             TagPrefix="asp" %>


Control:
 

  1. <asp:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server" />


Web Config:
Add the following tag within the <pages><controls>


<
add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />


Add the following tag within <httpHandlers>

<add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false" />

Useful Methods

Set Point:
private void SetPoint(string Series, int pointX, int pointY)
{
Chart1.Series[Series].Points.AddXY(pointX, pointY);
}

Set Legend:

private void SetLegend(string Series, string LegendText) 
{
Chart1.Series[Series].LegendText = LegendText;
}
