(ASP.Net and C#) I wanted the dates as X-alias and the medicine names as Y-alias , here is an example of my data

I would choose a bar Chart like https://www.google.ch/search?q=bar+chart+horizontal&biw=1341&bih=631&tbm=isch&imgil=aAmBsI1EBTRgyM%253A%253Br7cctfDjpkvkqM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fen.wikibooks.org%25252Fwiki%25252FStatistics%25252FDisplaying_Data%25252FBar_Charts&source=iu&pf=m&fir=aAmBsI1EBTRgyM%253A%252Cr7cctfDjpkvkqM%252C_&usg=__VR7rpIxpaJnPNTShvFkgJPcJiiE%3D&ved=0CCcQyjdqFQoTCLjioqeimccCFVIX2wodzRsGzg&ei=o9jFVfiELtKu7AbNt5jwDA#imgrc=aAmBsI1EBTRgyM%3A&usg=__VR7rpIxpaJnPNTShvFkgJPcJiiE%3D[^]

where abscissa reflects the period and the Ordinate lists the meds.
And of course in your case not every bar starts at "Zero" so it Looks at the end similar to a Gantt Chart.

Tnx , the shape u draw is the exactly thing that I want but I have another problem with BarChart , Is it possible to replace the YValues with some lables ? I mean how can I replace "1" with "lbl1" , "2" with "lbl2" ? that's because I use another date system , so I want the value "2015/01/08" would shown as for example "abc" ? I searched a lot but the only thing that I found was about XValues (med1,med2,..)

I don't know whether you can do it with the Standard graphic component of .NET, but I'm sure you can do it with the tchart component.

Have a look at their Homepage:
