# C1Chart Smart Tag

## Content



In Visual Studio, the **C1Chart** component includes a smart tag. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties in each component/command.

The **C1Chart** component provides quick and easy access to the **Chart Wizard** editor, **Visual Effects** designer, and common properties through its smart tag.

To access the **C1Chart Tasks** menu, click the smart tag (![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/70bd33a2-280e-4cc3-a1c0-7b827eceb8aa/imagesext/image9_5.png)) in the upper-right corner of the **C1Chart** control. This will open the **C1Chart Tasks** menu.
