How to set the ItemsSource property of a SeriesMapping in code-behind

[David]

Hi,

I'm looking to dynamically set the ItemsSource property of a SeriesMapping in code-behind. Here's the XAML I'm trying to achieve:

<telerik:SeriesMapping
    x:Name="EventTypeSeries"
    ItemsSource="{Binding EventAlarmLog}">

The code I'd like to use is as follows:

EventTypeSeries.SetBinding(SeriesMapping.ItemsSourceProperty, "EventAlarmLog")

However, there is no function "SetBinding" for a SeriesMapping. I am able to do this in code-behind for the entire chart (which I am doing right now), however I'd like to chart a series from a separate data source and specify bind the "ItemsSource" property of the individual series in code-behind (so that the "ItemsSource" can be dynamically built). How can I do this?

Kind regards,
Dave.

Hello Dave,

You should be able to achieve the desired effect via the BindingOperations.SetBinding(...) static method -- this is the way to attach a binding to an arbitrary DependencyObject that may not expose its own SetBinding method.

Hi Bart,

Great answer! Here's the code I ended up using:

BindingOperations.SetBinding(EventTypeSeries, SeriesMapping.ItemsSourceProperty, New Binding("EventAlarmLog"))

Kind regards,
Dave.
