How to add data to the Chartcontrol in WinForms Chart?

After placing the ChartControl from the toolbar, the ChartSeries class must be declared, and points can be added to that series using the Add method. Finally, the series should be added to the ChartControl class. By default, a column chart is displayed in WinForms Chart.

C#

//Series 1 is populated using data from the ViewModel.
ChartSeries chartSeries1 = new ChartSeries("Series 1");
chartSeries1.CategoryModel = dataSeriesModel;
dataSeriesModel.CategoryName = "XValue";
dataSeriesModel.YNames = new string[] { "YValue" };
this.chartControl1.Series.Add(chartSeries1);

//Series 2 is populated using direct data points.
ChartSeries chartSeries2 = this.chartControl1.Model.NewSeries("Series 2");
chartSeries2.Points.Add(0, 70);
chartSeries2.Points.Add(1, 75);
chartSeries2.Points.Add(2, 80);
chartSeries2.Points.Add(3, 65);
chartSeries2.Points.Add(4, 90);
this.chartControl1.Series.Add(chartSeries2);

VB

'Series 1 is populated using data from the ViewModel.
 Dim ChartSeries1 As ChartSeries = New ChartSeries("Series 1")
 ChartDataBindModel1.CategoryName = "XValue"
 ChartDataBindModel1.YNames = New String() {"YValue"}
 ChartSeries1.CategoryModel = ChartDataBindModel1
 columnChart.Series.Add(ChartSeries1)

'Series 2 is populated using direct data points.
 Dim ChartSeries2 As ChartSeries = columnChart.Model.NewSeries("Series 2")
 ChartSeries2.Points.Add(0, 70)
 ChartSeries2.Points.Add(1, 75)
 ChartSeries2.Points.Add(2, 80)
 ChartSeries2.Points.Add(3, 65)
 ChartSeries2.Points.Add(4, 90)
 columnChart.Series.Add(ChartSeries2)
