# Design-Time Support

## Content



C1Chart provides visual designers that offer rich design-time support and simplify working with the object model.

You have complete control to create a powerful and enhancing chart by using any of the following designers, menus, and collection editors in Visual Studio:

*   Smart Tag
*   Chart Wizard
*   Chart Properties Designer
*   Visual Effects Designer
*   C1Chart's Collection Editors

This chapter describes how to use various tools available in C1Chart's design-time environment to configure the C1Chart control.

In addition to the Visual Studio design-time support that C1Chart provides, it also has special design-time tools that help you create a simple or complex chart in very little time. For additional information on the special design-time tools see, [Design-Time Tools for Creating 2D Charts](/componentone/docs/win/online-chart2d/designtimetoolsforcr).
