[c#] Chart creating dynamically. in .net, c#

Does anybody have some experience working with charts in .NET? Specially I want to create them programmatically.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication6
{
  public partial class Form1 : Form
  {
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Random rnd = new Random();
        Chart mych = new Chart();
        mych.Series.Add("duck");

        mych.Series["duck"].SetDefault(true);
        mych.Series["duck"].Enabled = true;
        mych.Visible = true;

        for (int q = 0; q < 10; q++)
        {
            int first = rnd.Next(0,10);
            int second = rnd.Next(0,10);
            mych.Series["duck"].Points.AddXY(first, second);
            Debug.WriteLine(first + "  " + second);
        }
        mych.Show();
        Controls.Add(mych);
        mych.Show();
    }
  }
}

I'm trying to use .NET (.net 4, Visual Studio 2010) chart, but the random generated data set, doesn't appear. The chart remained blank. I searched for examples and only found ones like this , and, yes with manual "drag" method it works. I have no idea why the data I programmatically generate doesn't appear.

Microsoft has a nice chart control. Download it here. Great video on this here. Example code is here. Happy coding!

Try to include these lines on your code, after mych.Visible = true;:

ChartArea chA = new ChartArea();
mych.ChartAreas.Add(chA);

You need to attach the Form1_Load handler to the Load event:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication6
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Load += Form1_Load;
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Random rnd = new Random();
            Chart mych = new Chart();
            mych.Height = 100;
            mych.Width = 100;
            mych.BackColor = SystemColors.Highlight;
            mych.Series.Add("duck");

            mych.Series["duck"].SetDefault(true);
            mych.Series["duck"].Enabled = true;
            mych.Visible = true;

            for (int q = 0; q < 10; q++)
            {
                int first = rnd.Next(0, 10);
                int second = rnd.Next(0, 10);
                mych.Series["duck"].Points.AddXY(first, second);
                Debug.WriteLine(first + "  " + second);
            }

            Controls.Add(mych);
        }
    }
}

Add a reference to System.Windows.Form.DataVisualization, then add the appropriate using statement:

using System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting;

private void CreateChart()
{
    var series = new Series("Finance");

    // Frist parameter is X-Axis and Second is Collection of Y- Axis
    series.Points.DataBindXY(new[] { 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 }, new[] { 100, 200, 90, 150 });
    chart1.Series.Add(series);

}
