Show Hierarchical Nodes

I need to show a group of nodes - arranged in a hierarchy - in a Web page. A
simple arrangement of boxes containing text with connecting lines among
related boxes would be fine. The nodes and their relationships are stored in
a database. How could I generate a graphic that depicts the current nodes
and relationships?

I'd appreciate any high-level suggestions on how to accomplish this.

Thanks.
 
I seem to recall the Microsoft has released som additional .NET server
controls, amongst them a treeview control. There are also a number of other
controls out there that does the same thing, use Google.
You should propbably use one of these if you require user interaction.

Thanks. Unfortunately I omitted a critical fact from my initial post that
precludes me from using any tree views... While the nodes are related
hierarchically, any given node can have multiple parents and multiple
children. Part of the definition of a tree is that a child node can have at
most one parent. I do have the database portion of this solution
implemented - now I have to determine how to display the relationships over
the Web.

So, does this leave me to use GDI+ to generate a graphic that gets saved as
a jpg? or is there an easier way?

Thanks.
