# Creating and Adding Series

## Content

By default, **FlexChart for WPF** displays three series containing dummy data at design-time as well as run-time. However, you can provide your own data and display the series with that data.

FlexChart enables you to create and add a series at design-time as well as run-time. So if you want to add more series, you can do so by performing any of the methods mentioned below.

## At Design-Time

Perform the following steps to create and add a series in FlexChart at design-time:

1. In the **Properties** window, click the **Miscellaneous** drop down.
2. Navigate to the **Series** field.
3. Click the **Ellipsis** button next to the **Series** field.
    **Series Collection Editor: Series** appears.

    >type=note
> By default, FlexChart contains three series added in the Series collection. Thus, **Series Collection Editor** appears with the pre-added series.
4. Click the **Add** button to add an additional series in the Series collection.
5. Repeat step 3 to add the required number of series.
6. Click the **OK** button.

## At Run-Time

At run-time, you first need to create a series by using the **Series** object. And then, you need to add the series to the FlexChart Series collection using the **Add** method in the **FlexChart.Series** collection property.

The following code shows how to create and add a series in FlexChart at run-time.

**xml**

```xml
<c1:Series AxisX="{x:Null}" 
           AxisY="{x:Null}" 
           Binding="Y" 
           BindingX="X" 
           Chart="{x:Null}" 
           SeriesName="Series 4">
    <c1:Series.ItemsSource>
        <PointCollection>1,16 2,19 3,15 4,22 5,18</PointCollection>
    </c1:Series.ItemsSource>
</c1:Series>
```

### Code

```csharp
C1.WPF.Chart.Series series4 = new C1.WPF.Chart.Series();
flexChart.Series.Add(series4);
```
