Hi,

I'm looking at autogenerating a department document and I want to auto generate a chart in this report. The code I got from the internet produces a dated looking chart but I want to be able to use more modern chart. I can find a way of changing styles for Tables but I cant see how I can change a style for a Chart. I'm guessing its something to do with me using MS Chart 8.0 instead of the latest version.

I can see plenty of articles using chart controls in applications but I have to generate this chart in word Programmatically

Code I currently use:
C#
Word.InlineShape oShape;
 object oClassType = "MSGraph.Chart.8";

 wrdRng = oDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oEndOfDoc).Range;
 oShape = wrdRng.InlineShapes.AddOLEObject(ref oClassType, ref oMissing,
     ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing,
     ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);

 //Demonstrate use of late bound oChart and oChartApp objects to
 //manipulate the chart object with MSGraph.
 object oChart;
 object oChartApp;
 oChart = oShape.OLEFormat.Object;
 oChartApp = oChart.GetType().InvokeMember("Application",
     BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, oChart, null);


 //Change the chart type to Line.
 object[] Parameters = new Object[1];
 Parameters[0] = 4; //xlLine = 4
 oChart.GetType().InvokeMember("ChartType", BindingFlags.SetProperty,
     null, oChart, Parameters);

 //Update the chart image and quit MSGraph.
 oChartApp.GetType().InvokeMember("Update",
     BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oChartApp, null);
 oChartApp.GetType().InvokeMember("Quit",
     BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oChartApp, null);

Would be much appreciated if someone can point me in the right direction
