Thanks Barry, Were not generating interactive graphs, just stand alone graphs that go along with an interactive mapping application. We'd like to interface R with that application.

R can generate HTML, you can even use something like 'brew' to create templates that get filled in with computed R values. R won't be much use if you want interactive charts and graphs, although I reckon clever things can probably be done with SVG graphics. You'd be much better off using a client-side Javascript charting library - look into D3.js - but you could drive this from data generated via an R server back-end. Personally I'd ditch ASP.Net and save a fortune in license costs by going all-open source with a Python-based server solution.
