Remarks

The NamedImage class represents an image that has a unique name, and is useful when an image is dynamically created using a particular drawing routine, and then specified as the image for one of the image properties of the Chart control.

The Name property determines the unique name of a NamedImage object. The Image property determines its associated image, which can be any object derived from the .NET Framework Image class.

When one of the image properties of the Chart control is set by specifying a string value, the Images collection property is first checked to determine whether an image with the specified name exists. If a matching NamedImage object is found, this image is used. If a matching NamedImage object is not located, the string value is treated as a URL, image resource name, or an image path.

Constructors

NamedImage()	Initializes a new instance of the NamedImage class.
NamedImage(String, Image)	Initializes a new instance of the NamedImage class with the specified name of the named image and its associated image.
