When I try to import the System.Web.UI.Datavisualiz<wbr />ation.Char<wbr />ting into the controller, it gives me an error saying that namespace cannot be found. I've downloaded Chart Control and installed it a couple times, but its still not working.

So I'm working on a web app in Visual Studio 2013. Its in VB.Net, using MVC 5. I cannot figure out how to use Chart Control in my views. It never shows up in the toolbox, and if i click to show all, it is grayed out so I can't add it into my view. What do I need to do? We were using jqPlot to implement our charts but the sponsor of the project wants the chart itself to export to excel workbooks, which I can only find working using Chart Control.
