You can make use of some of the controls in the Silverlight Toolkit like the Chart control. http://www.codeplex.com/Silverlight/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Silverlight%20Toolkit%20Overview%20Part%202&referringTitle=Home
If you want more nice reporting features you will probably need to look at commercial kits like: http://www.perpetuumsoft.com/Product.aspx?lang=en&pid=102&tid=features

hai SakshiB
sorry for delay reply. the dLL means dynamic link library it can be used any number of times in a project it consist of functions or any other statements which we have to use in various parts of our program
the following link shows how to use dll in a project and how to create it work out this example and reply me
http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/csharp/csharp_s16p1.html
and please read this
1) Short for Dynamic Link Library, a library of executable functions or data that can be used by a Windows application. Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A static link remains constant during program execution while a dynamic link is created by the program as needed. DLLs can also contain just data. DLL files usually end with the extension .dll,.exe., drv, or .fon.
A DLL can be used by several applications at the same time. Some DLLs are provided with the Windows operating system and available for any Windows application. Other DLLs are written for a particular application and are loaded with the application.
2) Short for Delay Locked Loop, Delay-Locked Loop (DLL) supports high-bandwidth data rates between devices. These DLLs are circuits that provide zero propagation delay, low-clock skew between output clock signals throughout a device, and advanced clock domain control. These dedicated DLLs can be used to implement several circuits that improve and simplify system level design.

Telerik, Component One, Infragistis... all this third parties components companies makes quite good stuff, the only thing is that you have to target it for commercial applications (cost money, worth it, but you need bussiness :-)).
Using a trial just to know how it works it's ok, but just grabbing the DLL's from the XAP files and use it for commercial purpose without paying for the product, I would say it's no legal, ensure that you are using legal stuff before going into troubles :).

Navin, I guess you got my question wrong.. I have worked with dlls earlier. What I wanted to know was the dll you are talking about, will these be helpful for reporting?
Could I get these dlls so that I can also try my hands on this.

a silverlight project uses a web application. Web application use html then use asp.net ajax to communicate
a client-server technology. A web application(silverlight) is more enterprise driven
You are going have to study asp.net ajax ado.net entity framework linq etc http://silverlight.net/learn/tutorials/controls.aspx silverlight tutorial
a web form just uses just server side coding http://www.asp.net/learn/videos/video-13.aspx learn asp.net web form
web forms is an older technology not as enterprise driven
you will have to learn both of them to understand.....
