How to embed custom variable

[invader7]

hello , i want to make something like this

       int i = 1;

                    while (thisReader.Read())
                    {
                        chart +i+ .Series.Add(thisReader.GetValue(0).ToString());
                        i++;                                                
                    }

Use an array of charts :

int numberOfCharts = 10;
Chart [] charts = new Chart[numberOfCharts];

// you need to populate them
for (int index = 0; index < numberOfCharts; ++index)
{
    charts[index] = GetChart(index);
}

while (thisReader.Read())
{
    chart[i] .Series.Add(thisReader.GetValue(0).ToString());
    i++;                                                
}

If you already have chart1, chart2 etc defined (e.g. in a UI) then you can set the items of the chart array manually e.g.

int numberOfCharts = 10;
Chart [] charts = new Chart[numberOfCharts];
chart[0] = this.chart1;
chart[1] = this.chart2;
chart[2] = this.chart3;
// etc

its exactly what i want, thank you !

EDIT:

using System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting;

    Chart[] charts = new Chart[5];
                    charts[1] = chart1;
                    charts[2] = chart2;
                    charts[3] = chart3;
                    charts[4] = chart4;
                    charts[5] = chart5;
