I think your way should work, and it would be the best way IMHO in a unix 
system. However, you are using windows. Currently I think octave is 
supported in windows only under cygwin. This might pose a problem (i am not 
sure).

If all you need is to display a graph from a c# application, without any 
processing of the values, I would suggest looking for appropriate graph 
activex components or invoke gnuplot directly from your code -- gnuplot 
does have a native win32 binary.

I am not sure how w compiler would help.
