I am trying compiling with command line a sample program using MSChart control from here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/95dd2d87-3750-421c-8d3a-cf6c9055acf3/read-text-file-and-plot-xy-chart?forum=vbgeneral
The code is also shown below:

End If
Dim d As Double = Math.Ceiling(Math.Log10(Math.Abs(x)))
Dim power As Integer = n - CInt(d)

Dim Chart1 As New Chart
Chart1.SuspendLayout()
Chart1.Series(0).ChartType = DataVisualization.Charting.SeriesChartType.Point
For Each p In data
Chart1.Series(0).Points.AddXY(p.X, p.Y)
If p.X < minX Then minX = p.X
If p.X > maxX Then maxX = p.X
If p.Y < minY Then minY = p.Y
If p.Y > maxY Then maxY = p.Y
Next
' attempt to get the axis limits as "neater" numbers
minX = RoundToSignificantDigits(minX, 2)
maxX = RoundToSignificantDigits(maxX, 2)
minY = RoundToSignificantDigits(minY, 2)
maxY = RoundToSignificantDigits(maxY, 2)
Chart1.Legends.Clear()
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.IsStartedFromZero = False
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisY.IsStartedFromZero = False
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Minimum = minX
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.Maximum = maxX

LoadData("chartdata.txt")

'Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.Run(New Form1())
End Sub
End Class
Using command: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\vbc.exe Prog.vb
The VB Compiler then throws error that "Type Chart is not Defined" which I already did in above code as "Imports System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting" There is also some problem exist with declaration of Chart1 Object.
Any help is appreciated.
