I wonder if there is any built-in feature\component in .net that can be used to make charts using data from a SQL server?

Not built in, but it has capabilities to get it up and running easier than with asp. Here is the ASP.Net charting gallery of controls:

Some free some expensive.

If you are looking for very simple bar charts and such, you can create your own using the features from the System.Drawing namespace. The price is right (free), but it is going to be more work than using a charting package, since you will have to write all the code.

If you are looking for how to do this, I suggest reading Programming Windows with C# by Charles Petzold. This is the best book for creating Windows applications in .NET.

OWC Chart is fairly easy to use with classic ASP, and can be used to export the charts to an image file making it easy to implement in HTML.

Theres good VB reference including the object model in the following file MSOWCVBA.CHM - and as already said, good tutorials on the 4Guys site.
