I would recommend to render charts on the client, rather that making on the server, server is actually should be used for pulling the data from. I would use smth like google charts for that. But if you're really decided to pull charts from server, images to be specific, then the easiest is to use the above approach - Chart class. But, one disadvantage of this approach is that there is no designer for that, but actually, as I found, if you create WinForms app and drag and drop Charts control, it is exactly the same and there is a designer for that, all you need is to copy/paste designer generated code and write some processing logic, if needed. It makes life much easier.
