DataServiceDataSource with RadChart

[Jaime Bula]

It would be nice to see an example of DataServiceDataSource with the chart control.

Hello Jaime Bula,

RadDataServiceDataSource is a control which "brings" data to the client. It does not "know" or "care" who is going to consume this data afterwards -- it could be a grid, a list box or a chart. Or any other items control as a matter of fact.

Here is an example of RadGridView consuming data from RadDataServiceDataSource. You should be able to easily replace RadGridView with a RadChart or something else that can show collections of data.

This online sample shows a chart bound to RadDataServiceDataSource's "first cousin" -- the RadDomainDataSource. They have similar API's, so the idea will be absolutely the same and you should be able to easily replace the DomainDataSource from the online example with a DataServiceDataSource.

To learn more about what the RadDataServiceControl actually is and how to use it, please take a look at my blog post, in case you've missed it.

Let us know if you have any particular questions regarding RadDataServiceDataSource.
