How to draw a chart using C# and .net 4 built-in chart control?

How to draw a chart which looks exactly the same as one on the picture using C# and .net 4 built-in chart control ? Important are X and Y axis and there markings, and I don't want any graph line, just empty chart.

EDIT: Problems that I have

• don't know how to put sign for degrees Celsius in the corner
• dont' know how to put date and time in four hour interval on the X axis

I'm using win forms and bult-in chart control.

The units for date/time axes are days. Since there are 6 4-hour intervals in a day, to get 4-hour intervals on the X-axis, use AxisX.Interval = 1.0/6;

Alternately, you can set the interval type to hours and then set it to 4:

AxisX.IntervalType = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.DateTimeIntervalType.Hours;
AxisX.Interval = 4;

I don't see any obvious way to put the axis name in the corner. You can come close with a hack like this:

var title = new System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Title("\x00b0C");
title.Position.Y = 90;
title.Position.X = 5;
chart.Titles.Add(title);

It depends on which technology you prefer. WPF for example has a great support for charting, take a look here: http://wpf.codeplex.com/
