    Hello good people,

    I am trying to draw a simple pie chart using the drawing classes (C# asp.net 2.0 Drawing classes..no charting tools)

    I am able to find code/material for that however my requirement is...

    to display text on the image (pie chart) itself..not as caption/legend by the side.

    the slices of the pie should display text information and color as well. 

    Is this possible at all ? any links/code samples would be greatly appreciated

    thanks in advance.

    but shashankmishra, i do not want to use any third party tools (there are plenty of options in that).

    i just want to use system.drawing classes and display text in the pie chart, is that possible ?

    shashank thanks for the reply,

    ZedGraph looks good, have you used it to develop charts in asp.net 2.0 ?

    i am trying to use the class library and most of the classes used there have Windows.Forms namespace imported.

    doesnt that make them unfit for using in a web application ? i have been trying to figure out how to use them in aspx pages

    searching the web gives many windows forms examples...not much in web apps.

    any pointers will be helpful.

    thank you
