To use Chart Control for .NET Framework, you must create a Windows Application. Choose either C# or Visual Basic as the language. 

Adding the Chart Control to Your Form

Once you create a Windows Application, add a chart to the form by dragging a Chart control from the Toolbox window to the design surface. The figure below shows the Chart control in the Toolbox window.

Setting Chart Properties

The Chart control makes all of its data and appearance properties available in the Properties window in Visual Studio. Click on the Chart control in the design surface to see the chart properties and customize them. If one of the properties is a collection, you will see a ... button to the right of its value cell. You can click on the button to edit the items in the collection in the Collection Editor window. The figure below shows the Collection Editor window for the Chart.ChartAreas collection property.
