thank you

You can start with the Silverlight Toolkit which has free charts: http://silverlight.codeplex.com

Lot of exciting examples @ the below location

Visicharts have a nice set under GPL as well. http://www.visifire.com/

You will find plenty of very useful resources here: http://silverlight.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Silverlight%20Toolkit%20Overview%20Part%202&referringTitle=Home&ProjectName=silverlight

What kind of charts are you trying to create? Basic charts or more complex 3D Charts (which the toolkit doesn't offer)

Whatever your taste, Telerik has a wide variety of drill-down charts including this one that you can play around with. You may want to start with this page and click the "Other Chart Examples" drop down to see what they have to offer.
