2d graphics controls

I'm looking for a way of doing a advanced custom control (timeline data
visualization) with custom dynamic 2D-graphics based on data input and user
interaction. I would prefer if the same control could be used in winforms as
well as on the web and also on different platforms (both os and browser). I
realize I'm asking for a lot ...

Can this be done with .net and c# or is there any other way of doing this? I
have considered using Director/Shockwave, Java Applet, Flash and ActiveX but
they all have so many limitations ...

Hmm ... any comments on this?

I think you are S.O.L. for at least 3 more years until Microsoft releases
Longhorn and Avalon and the use of XAML can make it possible to reuse code
for both ASP.NET and WinForms development.
