RadColumnSparkline: Declarative Example ?

[Guido]

Hi all,
can you give an example for binding a RadColumnSparkline to data ? I got the RadLinearSparkline working, but the RadColumnSparkline seems to need a different data format.

Thanks in advance
Guido

Hi Guido,

RadColumnSparklines can be configured in the same way as RadLinearSparkline, RadAreaSparkline, etc. Your markup can look like this:

<telerik:RadLinearSparkline ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" XValuePath="TimeStamp" YValuePath="Value" />
<telerik:RadColumnSparkline ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" XValuePath="TimeStamp" YValuePath="Value" />

As you can see except for the name of the control all other attributes are the same.

Please take e look on this example in our online demos.

Kind regards,

Hi Yavor,
thank you for your answer. You told me exactly what I'm hoping for. But unfortunately it currently doens't work in my scenario.
Perhaps you'll see the reason.

you were referring to Silverlight examples, I'm using WPF. This might not make a difference, but it could be one reason, why it's not working.

I use exactly the same markup for RadColumn and RadLinearSparkline:

                            

<telerik:RadColumnSparkline<BR>
x:Name="PART_SparkbarControl"<BR>
telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Blue"<BR>
ShowAxis="False"<BR>
Visibility="Visible"<BR>
ItemsSource="{Binding
ActualMeasure}"<BR>
XValuePath="Cost"<BR>
YValuePath="UnitCost"<BR>
HorizontalAlignment="Left"<BR>
Margin="0"<BR>
VerticalAlignment="Top"
<BR>
/><BR>
<telerik:RadLinearSparkline<BR>
x:Name="PART_SparklineControl"<BR>
ShowAxis="False"<BR>
Visibility="Visible"<BR>
ItemsSource="{Binding
ActualMeasure}"<BR>
XValuePath="Cost"<BR>
YValuePath="UnitCost"<BR>
ShowHighPointIndicators="True"<BR>
ShowLowPointIndicators="True"<BR>
HorizontalAlignment="Left"<BR>
Margin="0"<BR>
VerticalAlignment="Top"<BR>
/><BR>

The LinearSparkline is showing, the The ColumnsSparkline is not.
What could be the problem ?

Best regards,
Guido

Hi Guido,

I have attached a runnable version of your code that demonstrates how to load your sparklines with sample data. Perhaps the problem could be in the data that you are loading your sparklines with.

You are right, both controls can display the same data.
My misconception was, that I expected spark controls to accept timestamps as x-values (as other chart controls do). But that was where I was wrong.
Now I bind the X-values to integers and everything works as expected.
Thanks.
