Public Sub New(
    argument As String,
    ParamArray values As Double()
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
argument	String	A String which specifies the string argument of the series point. This value is assigned to the SeriesPoint.Argument property. Note that if the argument is null (Nothing in Visual Basic) or Empty, then a ArgumentException will be thrown.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with two series of the SideBySideBarSeriesView 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.
