I dont know if this can be an answer, but ill type you here what i would do in VS 2012.

If you want to make a generic representation, and not 3( temp,sealevel,snow) charts ,then you need to represent values with same format/data type. There is ChartControl for VS 2010 that comes preinstalled with vs2012, but i do not have a clue if there is anything free for VS2008.

This is link showing you ChartControl.

Now i would say that doesn't help you alot, but you should check for some solutions for VS2008. I know few solutions that are paid, but i dont know if that is an option for you.
