Do you guys know of an ASP.Net chart control I can use to create Gartner's Magic Quadrant-style charts?
I also want bubble sizes to reflect the market volume for each data point.
As we are on a tight schedule, we do not have the option of rolling out our own custom solution.
The ASP.NET Charting Control provides advanced charting graphs. Scott Gu provided a really nice overview along with valuable links.
If you are familiar with Dundas, you will find the FREE ASP.NET Charting Control is very similiar to MS's offering. Why? Microsoft acquired Dundas Data Visualization Intellectual Property in April 2007 and is integrating this technology in different Microsoft products.
Review Scott Gu's post and Download the Microsoft Chart Controls Samples project to see what ASP.NET Charting Control can do. I also recommend looking at the Gallery at Dundas too.
Best of luck.

Google has a very easy to use Chart API. You can use your ASP.NET page to gather the data and then render the chart using Google's API

There are lots of other Javascript and Flash based charting libraries as well:

I want to create a pie chart in my asp.net web site.The chart should get the values from database and generate a pie chart as well.

Thanks in advance.
I would say have a look at the Asp.Net Charting control. New ASP.NET Charting Control - ScottGu . The samples found in that post are quite detailed and cover numerous chart types.
There are plenty of charting components you can use in ASP.NET, including free ones.
For server-side rendering I can recommend ASP.NET Charting from Microsoft (formerly Dundas Charts)
For client-side rendering you can use HighCharts or AmCharts (requires flash).
I recommend Fusion Charts. Ive implemented it in my project. Its easier to implement and is also very professional.
There is also a helper for Fusion Charts with Asp.Net (webforms and mvc)
Here a sample for a Pie Chart:

We're looking for applications that implemented the ribbon control just to see how developers other than MS Office team used this control. I tried googling a bit but the list is still short. Can you guys refer me to some good projects that are using the ribbon control the right way?
Thanks,
MR
Microsoft offers some samples if you're looking for implementation details. Or are you looking more for design ideas?

In the new WPF application we write, we will be using DevExpress controls suite, and will have a Ribbon.
Currently, the options I see are:
Microsoft - The vendor's offer, probably will get into the library on the next release
DevExpress - The controls library we know and love
Fluent - Open-source, got generally good recommendations
How do the different available ribbon controls compare? What features are / are not supported?
Fluent Ribbon here!
The Microsoft one lacks good support
Update:
Please vote on the Microsoft UserVoice site about the buggy Ribbon control:
https://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio-ide
Fluent Ribbon is I believe a great choice if you're looking to customize the styling of your ribbon. For example, Microsoft's Ribbon control has had theme options removed and is now only shipped with a single theme.
From my experience, Fluent Ribbon is not so great at design time building in Visual Studio, but in all other areas is superb. It is Open Source so can be customised to your needs and, coupled with MahApps Metro package, you can have complete Metro-styled applications with ease. Below is a screenshot of a sample application made with Fluent.Ribbon, using its 'Office 2013' theme.
Other commercial Ribbons are available and offer more features (such as three-state visibility, as show below in a screenshot from Outlook 2013)
I would advise making a list of all the features you require from the Ribbon control before deciding which one to use and whether a paid commercial Ribbon makes sense for your scenario. In your case, you already have access to DevExpress, so perhaps that may be your best choice.
I believe one of the most used is the Microsoft one.
Microsoft's Ribbon library (October 2010) does not work well with non standard DPI settings. And it's design time support is not good.
Comparing to Microsoft one, I personally think Actipro Ribbon is a better choice. It has EXCELLENT design time support, and works well with non standard DPI.
I have not tried any other Ribbon library yet.
