How to build a pie chart based on int values

I have some int variables and I need to create a pie chart based on them in a visual studio form. How do I link them together as I seem to only be able to find how to link it to a database, which is too cool for me.

Here's a code-example how you could create a pie chart. I hope this helps:

private void DrawPieChart(int value1, int value2, int value3, int value4, int value5)
{ //reset your chart series and legends chart1.Series.Clear(); chart1.Legends.Clear(); //Add a new Legend(if needed) and do some formating chart1.Legends.Add("MyLegend"); chart1.Legends[0].LegendStyle = LegendStyle.Table; chart1.Legends[0].Docking = Docking.Bottom; chart1.Legends[0].Alignment = StringAlignment.Center; chart1.Legends[0].Title = "MyTitle"; chart1.Legends[0].BorderColor = Color.Black; //Add a new chart-series string seriesname = "MySeriesName"; chart1.Series.Add(seriesname); //set the chart-type to "Pie" chart1.Series[seriesname].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Pie; //Add some datapoints so the series. in this case you can pass the values to this method chart1.Series[seriesname].Points.AddXY("MyPointName", value1); chart1.Series[seriesname].Points.AddXY("MyPointName1", value2); chart1.Series[seriesname].Points.AddXY("MyPointName2", value3); chart1.Series[seriesname].Points.AddXY("MyPointName3", value4); chart1.Series[seriesname].Points.AddXY("MyPointName4", value5);
}
