You don't need to buy 3rd party code to accomplish this. My advice would be to put a horizontal splitter on the form, and put the report on the left side, and the graph on the right side. The report could be in the form of a HTML page displayed in a browser control, or a PDF, or something like that. The graph can be created with the MSChart library (free from Microsoft).

Agree, a 5. I also should add that it's impossible to give a definitive advice without considering a number of factors, especially those related to the ultimate goals of OP's project(s) and requirements. All options considered by OP could be considered.
