C# WinForms How to add Chart to Panel?

Question

I'm trying to add dynamically charts to a panel in C# WinForms but haven't had any success yet.

Situation:
I have a form (Form1) with a button (button1) and a panel. After the button (button1) is clicked a dialog shows up.

When Dialog.Result from the dialog (Form2) is OK, it should add a chart into the panel with some random value. Multiple charts should be able to be added to the panel.

What I tried so far:
I made a separate class (addGraph) where I wrote a function which creates a column chart with 2 values. Than I tried to call the function in the dialog (Form2) class but this didn't worked out like expected and showed nothing in the (Form1) panel.

Question:
How can I achieve to add charts to the Form1 with function calling in Form2?
Also should I use Panel or GraphControl?

Thanks for your help.
Greetings

I guess something like this :

void Button1_click()
{
   using (Form2 form2 = new Form2())
   {
      if (form2.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
      {
         var chart = create your chart here
         chart.Parent = YourPanel;
      }
   }
}

if the chart is created on Form2 than it will look more like

void Button1_click()
{
   using (Form2 form2 = new Form2())
   {
      if (form2.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
      {
         var chart = form2.CreateChart();
         chart.Parent = YourPanel;
      }
   }
}

and on Form2 you will need a public function called CreateChart() that will create the chart off course
