Hi S.Sweitzer,

Based on your description, I guess that you want to use chart in Pie chart Type or Column chart Type. If yes, you can click chart series property and choose pie or column chartType.

Here is the simple way to use chart.

 Dim dt As New DataTable
        dt.Columns.Add("Id", GetType(Int32))
        dt.Columns.Add("MemberName", GetType(String))
        dt.Columns.Add("Momey", GetType(Double))

        dt.Rows.Add(1, "A", 10000)
        dt.Rows.Add(2, "B", 20000)
        dt.Rows.Add(3, "C", 30000)

        Chart1.DataSource = dt
        Chart1.Series("Series1").XValueMember = "MemberName"
        Chart1.Series("Series1").YValueMembers = "Momey"

Best Regards,

Cherry

Assuming you want to use the chart control, this samples environment is a Visual Studio application you open in VS and run. It is a large collection of examples with code of most of the chart control features.

You can also draw your own charts if that is desired. But the chart control is easier.
