>If you picture the typical "simple chart" generated from a dataset in excel, etc., that is all I want. I may have a table of 5 records with summary data. I want to "send" that data to a control and get a pie chart. Not much more....the charting packages I have looked at either fail on the installation requirements, or are so convaluted, it's really not funny.

FWIW you can try ChartFX from SoftwareFX. Is very good and simple to use.
