The following example demonstrates how to bind a chart to data at runtime via binding its individual series to a particular datasource. It uses the same approach as the design-time example, but another data table is generated in this code to simplify the example.

// Create an empty table.
DataTable table = new DataTable("Table1");
// Add two columns to the table.
table.Columns.Add("Argument", typeof(Int32));
table.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(Int32));
// Add data rows to the table.
Random rnd = new Random();
DataRow row = null;
for (int i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
row = table.NewRow();
row["Argument"] = i;
row["Value"] = rnd.Next(100);
table.Rows.Add(row);
}
return table;
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Create a chart.
ChartControl chart = new ChartControl();
// Create an empty Bar series and add it to the chart.
Series series = new Series("Series1", ViewType.Bar);
chart.Series.Add(series);
// Generate a data table and bind the series to it.
series.DataSource = CreateChartData(50);
// Specify data members to bind the series.
series.ArgumentScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
series.ArgumentDataMember = "Argument";
series.ValueScaleType = ScaleType.Numerical;
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Value" });
// Set some properties to get a nice-looking chart.
