Remarks

The ChartSheetBase class is the base class for chart sheet host items in document-level Office projects created by using Visual Studio. For more information, see ChartSheet Host Item.

A chart sheet is a worksheet that contains only a chart. If you want to create an embedded chart in a worksheet that also contains other items, such as cells or other controls, create a Chart instead.

The ChartSheetBase class provides all the chart-related features of a native Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Chart object in the Excel primary interop assembly. However, a ChartSheetBase also exposes events.

Usage

This type is used only in Office projects that target the .NET Framework 4. The assembly that defines this type is not part of the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You must deploy this assembly with your solution. For more information, see Assemblies in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
