Examples

' Create a new legend and associate three series with the legend.  
Public Sub CreateSecondLegend()  
    ' Attach the first series to a chart area.  
    Chart1.Series["Series1"].ChartArea = "Chart Area 1";  

    ' Attach the second series to a chart area.  
    Chart1.Series["Series2"].ChartArea = "Chart Area 2";  

End Sub 'CreateSecondLegend

// Create a new legend and associate three series with the legend.  
public void CreateSecondLegend()  
{  
     // Attach the first series to a chart area.  
     Chart1.Series["Series1"].ChartArea = "Chart Area 1";  

     // Attach the second series to a chart area.  
     Chart1.Series["Series2"].ChartArea = "Chart Area 2";  

}

Remarks

When a series is added at both design time and run time, it is automatically assigned to the "Default" ChartArea object, or the first available chart area in the ChartAreaCollection if "Default" does not exist.

Set this property to a zero-length string if you do not want the series to be plotted.
