Sure, here are the steps on how to use chart controls in Windows Forms application in .NET:

  1. Add a Chart control to your Windows Forms form.
  2. Add data to the Chart control.
  3. Set the properties of the Chart control.
  4. Bind the Chart control to an event handler.
  5. In the event handler, write code to handle the events of the Chart control.

Here is an example of the code:

C#

private void Chart1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    // Get the mouse position
    Point mousePosition = e.Location;

    // Get the chart point that is under the mouse cursor
    ChartPoint chartPoint = Chart1.GetPointAt(mousePosition);

    // Write code to handle the mouse move event
    // For example, you can display the value of the chart point in a message box
    MessageBox.Show(chartPoint.Value.ToString());
}

This code will add a Chart control to your Windows Forms form. The data for the Chart control will be set in the code-behind file. The Chart control will be bound to the MouseMove event handler. The MouseMove event handler will be triggered when the mouse cursor moves over the Chart control. The code in the MouseMove event handler will display the value of the chart point that is under the mouse cursor in a message box.

Here are some of the chart controls that you can use in Windows Forms application in .NET:

  • Line Chart: A line chart is a graphical representation of data points connected by straight lines.
  • Bar Chart: A bar chart is a graphical representation of data points displayed as bars.
  • Pie Chart: A pie chart is a graphical representation of data points displayed as slices of a pie.
  • Scatter Chart: A scatter chart is a graphical representation of data points displayed as dots.
  • Area Chart: An area chart is a graphical representation of data points displayed as filled areas.

        private void Chart_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            
            string[] seriesarr = { "Jan", "Feb", "MAR", };
            int[] pointsArray = { 1000, 2000,1500 };            
            this.chart1.Palette = ChartColorPalette.Pastel;            
            this.chart1.Titles.Add("Sales");             
            for (int i = 0; i < seriesarr.Length; i++)
            {              
                Series series = this.chart1.Series.Add(seriesarr[i]);     
                series.Points.Add(pointsArray[i]);
            }
        }
    }
}
