C1WebChart Tasks Menu

In Visual Studio 2005, the C1WebChart component includes a smart tag. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties in each component/command.

The C1WebChart component provides quick and easy access to the Chart Wizard editor, Visual Effects designer, and common properties through its smart tag.

To access the C1WebChart Tasks menu, click on the smart tag () in the upper-right corner of the C1WebChart control. This will open the C1WebChart Tasks menu.

The C1WebChart Tasks menu operates as follows:

• Choose Data Source

Clicking on the Choose Data Source drop-down list box displays an existing data source or a <New data source item…> to create a new connection through the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
