I need to add some graphical presentation objects to my asp.net page. It will be some simple vector graphics like points, lines archs and combination of them, then zoom capability and distinguishing clicks.
How do you recommend me to start? silver light? java script? May this GDI+ help? what if some day I want to add 3D capabilities?

Hello

i guess silverlight can be of great help here since it will provide interactivity natively, but it has "the well known problems silverlight has"
GDI+ in the server might help you draw cool images but it will only provide static images for you to show in the browser
I would recomend you to look into SVG and javascript as well. I use a lot of it and it's great. It merges with html gracefully.
Take a look at some of these client-size graphil libraries:

and also, if you're into html5 capable browsers, you might want to see what's in there for you with canvas
have fun!

Thanks for your answer. I've started using HTML5, SVG.
