Like in some other threads, you probably selected a .NET project, instead of .NET Framework project :

I was using VS 2017 and it was easy to add a chart control to a form.
You added a reference to the System.Windows.Forms and the chart seemed to come along.
With VS2022 this isnt the case.
I attempt to add the reference (COM) checking the forms box and the dialog just returns w/o adding the reference.
Any thoughts on what has changed?

I changed the tag to windows-forms, the reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding. -

Anonymous2023-01-09T08:19:51.03+00:00 Hi @james kain , what project did you create? (Since you mentioned adding System.Windows.Forms, I'm not sure.) As Castorix31 said, creating a WinForms (.NET Framework) project will do what you need.
