    Charts are great for displaying information to users in a graphical, tangible way. To support charts in .NET applications, Microsoft provides an add-on for .NET 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 to support robust charts without purchasing expensive, proprietary software. In order to create charts , you will need to install Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and Microsoft Chart Controls add-on for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. If you are new to MS Charts, you can check out this overview to help you get started and set up.
    The following are overviews of the key pieces used in creating and displaying a chart with the MSChart control.

    ChartAreas

    The ChartAreas property is a collection of ChartArea objects. A ChartArea is what is responsible for the display properties of the container, or "background," of the chart. Since there can be more than one, this means that a single MSChart control can have multiple charts contained within it.

    Series

    The Series property, like the ChartAreas property, is a collection. A single Series instance contains 3 important properties: the ChartArea property, the ChartType property, and the Points collection property.

    Data Binding

    Data can be bound at either design-time or run-time. To bind at design-time use the Data Source Configuration Wizard that can be found by clicking on the dropdown button for the DataSource property directly on the MSChart control. If you already have data sources configured, you can select them from the list provided.

    Chart Methods:

    • DataBind(): The basic method to bind to the set data source.
    • DataBindTable(): Binds the chart to a specific data table. Does not allow for binding multiple Y values, different data sources per series or different data sources for X and Y values.
    • DataBindCrossTab(): Binds the chart to a data source and allows grouping of data based on a column of data. A separate series is automatically created per unique value in the specified column.
    i thing its enough to understand MS cahrt control
