I am somewhat a beginner in ASP.NET (C#), and I would like to know if it is feasible to draw a line chart of a time-series using data from a SQL table (SQL Server).
I haven't found any control that allows for a drawing of a time-series (i.e. Time as X-axis variable).
Also, I would like for the user to be able to hover over the chart and see data, as demonstrated in the following link:

Could anyone please enlighten me as to what is the best way to achieve such a result?
Thank you!
You have quite a few options, Reporting Services provides all sorts of graph and charting mechanisms. A personal favourite of mine is JQPlot. The bonus of the latter is that it's free!
Have you tried the Microsoft Chart controls.
have a look at ScottGU Blog here
I have used it and it works really well. The best part is that itès free ;)
HTH
In my applications I need to produce two different types of reports.
- one business object per page reports where actual data is written inside appropriate placeholders
- tabular reports spanning multiple pages using grouping and summary rows.
At the moment I' m using ReportViewer, but I'm looking for free alternatives.
I found some similar questions like this Alternative to reportViewer , but they are a bit outdated, so in the mind-time new libraries / products may be available.
In case you are finding some open source and free reporting tools then you should see fyiReporting.For further details please see this question and this one as well where you can also find some open source reporting tools for .net.iTextSharp also worth to try
i was reading about how to do memebership,roles and profiles in asp.net and they all seem to be very easy,but there is one thing, which all the tutorials and books i have seem to forget to talk about.
the data base generated by asp.net has some tables, which i have no idea what they are used for.
i was woundering if anyone could provide me with an explanation of what each table in the "aspnetdb" is used for
thanks in advance
Explaining it here would be a bit lengthy. Take a look at MSDN's documentation here.
There are 8 parts to the article in total. Each one describes what each table is used for from both a high level and a more detailed level.
It's used to house the data used by the default membership/roles/profiles provider. You could figure out the details (it's not a complicated schema) but good design principles would say you should treat it like a black box and not touch it directly - only touch it via the membership/role/profile APIs. Don't rely on Microsoft keeping their internal implementation details the same in the future.
I am preparing an offer for a customer. They proide weekly data to different organizations. There is huge amount data suits OLAP that needed to be visualized with charts and pivot tables on web and custom reports will be built by non-it persons (an easy gui). They will enter a date range, location which data columns to be included and generate report and optionally export the data to Excel. They currently prepare reports with MS Excel with Pivot Tables and but they need a better online tool now to show data to their customers. Tables are huge and need of drill-down functionality. My current knowledge Spring, Flex, MySql, Linux. I have some knowledge of PostgreSQL and MSSQL and Windows. What is the easiest way of doing this project. Do you think that SSRP (haven't tried yet) and ASP.NET better suits for this kind of job. Actually I prefer open source solutions. Flex have OLAP Data Grid control which do aggregation on client side. JasperServer seems promising but it seems I need enterprise version (multiple organizations and ad hoc queries). What about Modrian + Flex + PostgreSQL solution? Any previous experience will be appreciated. Yes I am confused with options.
Take a look at DynamicJasper, it's based on JasperReports, but dynamically!
They have a web demo running here, the demo shows how to customize the report results. But as your users wont be IT people, then you will need less options.
DJ Charting API does not appear in the demo, but you can check it here
Does anyone know of any opensource tool for creating dynamic organization chart in flex by reading values from database
Have a look at KapLab (http://lab.kapit.fr)
They have free data vizualisation components. I think you might be interested by the Visualizer component.
It's not open-source though, but you can get the source code if you buy a licence.
(If you need more info, you can still contact me because I'm working closely with them)
The IBM ILog Elixer library has an organization charting component. It's not free, but it fits the bill of what you are looking for.
The most polished "free" components I've seen are the KapLab Visualizer that Pez mentioned.
However for actual open source your best be is the BirdEye Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Library. Check out the demo, the "Graphs" tab and I think tree is right up your alley. BirdEye is built with degrafa as is axiis another open source data visualization library.
Good luck!
Maybe The Flare library would suit your needs , I am starting to use it. Looks kinda funky
