DataVisualization.Charting.Chart simple example

/ Published in: C#

For error...
<code>
'The type or namespace name 'DataVisualization' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows.Forms' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
</code>
...Here's how to install:
* Search for: download "Microsoft Chart Controls for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5" and expect to find MSChart.exe. Download and install.
* Make sure the proj has a reference to System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.

For an example (.SLN) that demonstrates usage of mschart, see http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart or, search for "Samples Environment for Microsoft Chart Controls" on MSDN

// Series["MyGraph"] is a series added in the form designer.
