I do not think that you can bind DataGridView to a MS Chart control. List of supported types which can be used from binding are

•SqlCommand
•OleDbCommand
•SqlDataAdapter
•OleDbDataAdapter
•DataView
•DataSet
•DataReader
•List
•Array
•IList
•IListSource
•IEnumerable

try binding the source directly to your chart and providing the x and y values form original source.

Hi,

Please make sure you have graph structure as below,

XML

<asp:chart id="chart1" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
	<series>
		<asp:series name="series1">
		</asp:series>                
	</series>
</asp:chart>

Error says that you are missing Series with the given name.

[Edit]
Let me know if this is in ASP.NET or in C# windows forms ?

Best luck
