Create a Chart and Bind it to Data

Create a new report.

Drag Chart from the Toolbox onto the report's Detail band.

Note:
At this point, the Chart Wizard may be displayed (if its Show wizard every time a new chart is added option is enabled). Click Cancel to close the wizard's window and manually customise the chart.

To bind the chart to a data source, click its Smart tag, and in the displayed actions list, expand the Data Source dropdown selector and click Add New DataSource. The Report Wizard is displayed.

The wizard will guide the user through the process of assigning a data source to the chart. For detailed instructions on the wizard's steps, refer to Bind a Report to Data, as this process is similar.

The specified data source is then assigned to the chart's Data Source property. The Data Member property is also set, which specifies which table or view of the dataset the chart should obtain data from, as is the Data Adapter property.

Note:
The report's Data Source property must be set to None. Otherwise, the chart will be blank when previewed.
