Chart Class
Serves as the root class of the Chart control. To utilize the Chart control, create it and add it to a form. Additionally, you will need to create one or more ChartAreas to define the areas where plotting will take place. You will also need to create one or more ChartSeries, which defines the data to be displayed in the ChartArea. Optionally, axes and legends can be added.
The DataGridView control allows you to display data in a tabular format. Similar to the Chart control, you start by creating a DataGridView and adding it to the form. Columns and rows can then be added using the DataGridViewColumn and DataGridViewRow classes.
