    Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 22;
    Globals.Sheet1.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;

    this.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", "B5"],
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns);
    this.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xlBarClustered;

    Excel.ChartObjects chartObjects =
        (Excel.ChartObjects)this.ChartObjects();

    if (chartObjects.Creator == Excel.XlCreator.xlCreatorCode)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The ChartObjects was created by " + 
            "Microsoft Office Excel.");
    }
}

Private Sub UseChartObjects()
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 22
    Globals.Sheet1.Range("B1", "B5").Value2 = 55

    Me.SetSourceData(Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1", "B5"), _
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns)
    Me.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xlBarClustered

    Dim ChartObjects1 As Excel.ChartObjects = _
        CType(Me.ChartObjects(), Excel.ChartObjects)

    If ChartObjects1.Creator = Excel.XlCreator.xlCreatorCode Then
        MsgBox("The ChartObjects was created by Microsoft Office Excel.")
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

This method is not equivalent to the Charts property. This method returns embedded charts; the Charts property returns chart sheets. Use the Chart property to return the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Chart object for an embedded chart.
