This step enables you to create a simple chart application using FlexChart for WPF. When you add the FlexChart control to your Visual Studio project, you would have a functional column chart with dummy data. 

Perform the following steps:

1. Create a new WPF Application in Visual Studio.
   1. Select File | New | Project. The New Project dialog box appears.
   2.  In the New Project dialog box, select a language in the left-hand pane, and then select WPF Application from the list of applications in the center pane.
   3. Give your application a Name, and then select OK.
2. Open the MainWindow.xaml file.
3. Place your cursor between the <Grid> </Grid> tags within either your Window or your UserControl, depending on the type of application you've created.
4. Locate the FlexChart control in Visual Studio's ToolBox. Double-click  the control to add it to your application. The following reference is added to the project:
   C1.WPF.FlexChart.4.dll
   If the reference is not added, you need to add the same manually - right-click the References folder in the Solution Explorer and select Add | New Reference.
   
   The XAML markup resembles the following:

           </c1:C1FlexChart>
   
       </Grid>
   </Window>
   

               
5. Run the application.
   
   The output appears as shown in figure below.                      
   
   
   
     You have successfully created a WPF Application containing the FlexChart control.
