About using the Microsoft Chart library and a general clarification sought in C#

Question

I am using the Microsoft Chart.

I have a UI to get the value for each property of this object. Then i store all these values in the DB.

Now that I have the properties from the DB I have to bind them to the corresponding properties of the Chart object.

Which is the most efficient and right way. Shall i do it using reflection or other ways.

I came to know that this class has a method that can export all the settings for the chart, including the values in an XML format. What if i can try to create an import data and properties method.

suggest the best way. I am using ASP.NET MVC 2 with C# and VS2010.

edit

I tried to get the xml from the Chart Object calling SaveAsXml() and then used that to load it as a template and tried back to get the chart object. that does not event work.

Better to Use jQuery Charts for better UI control and to use MS Charts for hiding data from the user.
