Simple chart in VS2010

Hi all

First time posting here, looking for your help.

I am a noob software dev. I am fully self taught. I think what I am trying to do is quite easy but it's bogging me down.

Basically I have a database (SQL server 2008) and I want to chart the data on a line graph in VS 2010.

But I don't want to chart the raw data. I want to chart the result of a query. I have the query working on its own in SQL server man. studio. It is a group by select and groups data by hour over the last day.

How should I go about making my chart in a windows form? Do I need a stores procedure?

Thanks

You should be able to run your query against the database and bind the resulting data to the chart. See the following articles for samples.

Thanks JazzyJ!

This article guides me perfectly. My searches were throwing up reading material for the more advanced programmer.

Thanks again.
