Charts for Windows Phone Mango

I need to create charts for WP Mango. Therefore I have a couple of "what/how" questions which might be interesting:

What...

  • ...frameworks or tools use for this purpose?
  • ...better to use, Silverlight or XNA (or mix)?
  • ...to read, download, avoid etc.?
  • ...pitfalls in charts creation (even not for WP)?

The same Data Visualization project that supports charting on WPF and Silverlight supports Windows Phone 7. Download the package and the data visualization demos from Delay's Blog:

I have found only 2 free Windows Phone chart libraries. Here are my posts with overview of these libraries:

  1. Silverlight Toolkit
  2. AmCharts

At the end of my posts I posted links to sample applications, so you can download and test them without writing your own samples.
