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.
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...
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));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(3, 14));
series1.Points.Add(new SeriesPoint(4, 17));
// Add the series to the chart.
lineChart.Series.Add(series1);
// Set the numerical argument scale types for the series,
// as it is qualitative, by default.
series1.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
// Access the view-type-specific options of the series.
((LineSeriesView)series1.View).MarkerVisibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.True;
((LineSeriesView)series1.View).LineMarkerOptions.Kind = MarkerKind.Triangle;
((LineSeriesView)series1.View).LineStyle.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
// Access the type-specific options of the diagram.
((XYDiagram)lineChart.Diagram).EnableAxisXZooming = true;
// Hide the legend (if necessary).
lineChart.Legend.Visibility = DevExpress.Utils.DefaultBoolean.False;
// Add a title to the chart (if necessary).
lineChart.Titles.Add(new ChartTitle());
lineChart.Titles[0].Text = "A Line Chart";
// Add the chart to the form.
lineChart.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(lineChart);
