you will have to find a control to do this for you. – Daniel A. White Aug 31 '11 at 19:56

You can use any graphics library, including the classes in the System.Drawing namespace.

@andromeda - That's up to you, but yes, that's what the namespace is all about - images. – Oded Aug 31 '11 at 20:05

no, SL in not absolutely needed, you can draw it line by line using GDI+ (Managed GDI APIs) on the server side from C#.
SL could help a bit but it really depends if you want then to bind your application to a plugin. I would not, just to be cross platform (including mobile devices)...

- You can create the image on the server side and returns via httpHandler
- TO draw on the client side using javascript you can find a special librarise like this
- You can use Silverlight or Flash
- I'm not sure but probably it can be done via CSS3

maybe :) I know that new technologies allow to do this but here is still problems with cross-browser i think. Thanks for clarification :) – Samich Aug 31 '11 at 20:17

I would seriously recommend using http://raphaeljs.com/
You could create server side code to do it using system.drawing, but Raphael can do it all in the browser, saving you a round trip.
