Please please help me create a chart inside my word document

[Dean]

I have a very very simple requirement - and I cannot find documentation that lets me create what I need. Ive spent days now looking into this, and I cant believe that I cant get this working.

ALL I want is a simple bar chart (Bar_Stacked_100) with 4 rows and 3 different coloured bars in each row depending on the data - and to add that to my Word paragraph IWParagraph) - should be very simple

I have a data object type call 'Data' with 3 integer properties and one string property. This represents the chart 'Row'

I want the string property to be the label on the left, and I want each of the integer properties to be the 3 colored bars depending on value - but add up to 100%

I simply cannot get this scenario to work in any way

I have been through EVERY piece of example code on the internet. I cant work out a way for this to work.

Particular questions are:

1) How to a hook up the string property in my data class to the left row label

2) How do I tell the code which integer property represents which block of color in the chart

How can I get any of it to work ?

Can someone point me to an example where I can get something meaningful to appear in my DocIO generated document

Here is the data class for the rows

public class Data

{

    public string Area { get; set; }

    public int RedCount { get; set; }

    public int AmberCount { get; set; }

    public int GreenCount { get; set; }

}

If anyone can show code that puts a few of these rows into a stacked bar_100 chart in a word document I would be massively relived.

Thanks
