You need the actual .DLL of the datavisualization. You need to download the .dll from Microsoft or should be in there. Try compiling the project.

You need to import the dll and reference the dll and then do like Chart _chart = new Chart();. Try compiling your project.

You have to add a assembly reference to System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization. Then you can write:

private System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart _MyChart;

or

using System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting;
private Chart _MyChart;

You can have a look at FusionCharts.

It is a JavaScript charting library. However, they provide a .dll file that you can import in your Visual Studio project and auto-generate the HTML + JavaScript code.

Here is a tutorial series from their blog.
