Solution 1

Have a look at ASP.NET and Windows Forms Chart Controls for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1[^].

It's a free download.

MSChart will not work with older versions of .Net, the download does after all specify .net 3.5 so you need to upgrade Visual studio to version 2008. The component is included with Visual Studio 2010.

Your big problem is using a very old version of the software: VS2005 is 7 years and three versions old. The MS Chart control was (I think) introduced at .NET V3.5, which came in at VS2008.

Have a look here: A flexible charting library for .NET[^]
It includes a version for .NET 1.1 which VS2005 supports, but I would strongly suggest that you need to update your development environment! MS does do free versions of Visual Studio - they are called the Express versions and are available from thier web site directly.
