Need Advices for Building Charts in C#

Question

I would like to know, what would be a good way to display statistics about and application execution after it finishes off. The statistics, in my situation, would be the occurrence of each number, lowercase character and uppercase character typed during the whole process. It is a WPF C# Application.

I thought about charts, since they make it easier to visualize data, maybe one chart to each category (numbers, lowercases and uppercases) but, i dont wan't it to be cluttered and uggly.

It would be OK for example to display a Pie Chart with numbers occurence, because 0 to 9 would lead to only 10 entrances, at most, because a number may not be typed at all.

The problem is that, when it comes to characters i might have up to 26 entrances for a chart. Which kind of chart can i use to avoid a cluttered and messed display of data ?

The chart must show each input (such as '0', '1', '2' in the case of numbers chart, and 'A','B','C' for the Uppercase chart) with its own Count.
