    this.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart chart1 =
        this.Controls.AddChart(this.Range["D2", "H12"], 
        "chart1");

    chart1.SetSourceData(this.Range["A1", "B5"], 
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns);
    chart1.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn;

    // Set additional range values and copy them to 
    // the Clipboard.
    this.Range["A6", "A10"].Value2 = 11;
    this.Range["B6", "B10"].Value2 = 33;
    this.Range["A6", "B10"].Copy();

    Dim Chart1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart = _
        Me.Controls.AddChart(Me.Range("D2", "H12"), "Chart1")

    Chart1.SetSourceData(Me.Range("A1", "B5"), Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns)
    Chart1.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xl3DColumn

    ' Set additional range values and copy them to the Clipboard.
