// ...

// Save the chart.
stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
chartControl1.SaveToStream(stream);

// Load the chart.
stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
chartControl1.LoadFromStream(stream);

' ...

' Save the chart.
stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin)

stream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin)
ChartControl1.LoadFromStream(stream)
