The following is my SQL Server Data Table with the data I will show in the chart.

Image 1.

Here I will show the total number of users by their city (Address). The following is my table in design mode.

The script of my table is:

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employee](
[CompanyName] [varchar](50) NULL,
[EmployeeCode] [int] NOT NULL,
[EmployeeSupervisorCode] [int] NULL,
[EmployeeName] [varchar](50) NULL,
[ProjectName] [varchar](50) NULL,
[JoiningDate] [datetime] NULL,
[Experience] [varchar](50) NULL,
[Mobile] [varchar](15) NULL,
[Address] [varchar](50) NULL,
[CreatedDate] [datetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Employee] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[EmployeeCode] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO

You can drag and drop a chart control from the tool box to your aspx page like the following in my aspx code:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ChartControlDemo.aspx.cs" Inherits="ChartControlApplication.ChartControlDemo" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" TagPrefix="asp" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Showing Employee Information in Chart</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Chart ID="EmployeeChartInfo" runat="server" Height="450px" Width="550px">
<Titles>
<asp:Title ShadowOffset="3" Name="Items" />
</Titles>
<Legends>
<asp:Legend Alignment="Center" Docking="Bottom" IsTextAutoFit="False" Name="Default" LegendStyle="Row" />
</Legends>
<Series>
<asp:Series Name="Default" />
</Series>
<ChartAreas>
<asp:ChartArea Name="ChartArea1" BorderWidth="1" />
</ChartAreas>
</asp:Chart>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now, make sure your web.config file has the following peice of code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
For more information on how to configure your ASP.NET application, please visit
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=169433
-->
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file; timeout=20;" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5"/>
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="ChartImageHandler" />
<add name="ChartImageHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD,POST"
path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Now the aspx.cs code is:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting;
namespace ChartControlApplication
{
public partial class ChartControlDemo : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
GetEmployeeChartInfo();
}
}
private void GetEmployeeChartInfo()
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=MyPC\SqlServer2k8;Integrated Security=true;Initial Catalog=Test"))
{
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT Address as Name, COUNT(EMPLOYEECODE) AS Total FROM Employee GROUP BY Address", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
con.Close();
}
string[] x = new string[dt.Rows.Count];
int[] y = new int[dt.Rows.Count];
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
x[i] = dt.Rows[i][0].ToString();
y[i] = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i][1]);
}
EmployeeChartInfo.Series[0].Points.DataBindXY(x, y);
EmployeeChartInfo.Series[0].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Pie;
EmployeeChartInfo.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].Area3DStyle.Enable3D = true;
EmployeeChartInfo.Legends[0].Enabled = true;
}
}
}

Now run your application:

Employee Chart Info
