Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the LineSeriesView type, and add this chart to a form at runtime. Before proceeding with this example, first create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio, and include all necessary assemblies to the References list of your project.

Then, add the following code to the Form.Load event handler.

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            // Create a new chart.
            ChartControl lineChart = new ChartControl();

            // Create a line series.
            Series series1 = new Series("Series 1", ViewType.Line);

            // Add points to it.
            series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(1, 2));
            series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(2, 12));
