Array

This help article describes which properties to use to bind a RadHtmlChart to an Array and presents a code example. To bind a RadHtmlChart to an Array object, you assign the RadHtmlChart DataSource property to the array and then call the RadHtmlChart DataBind() method. The y-axis automatically adjusts to accommodate the values and its appearance can be controlled more precisely via its properties. Example 1 demonstrates data binding to an array of doubles.

Example 1: The RadHtmlChart markup that is bound to an array of doubles in Example 2.

<telerik:RadHtmlChart runat="server" ID="RadHtmlChart1">
    <PlotArea>
        <Series>
            <telerik:LineSeries Name="2011">
                <TooltipsAppearance DataFormatString="{0}%" />
                <LabelsAppearance Visible="false" />
            </telerik:LineSeries>
        </Series>
        <XAxis>
            <Items>
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="January" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Februrary" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="March" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="April" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="May" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="June" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="July" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="August" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="September" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="October" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="November" />
                <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="December" />
            </Items>
        </XAxis>
        <YAxis>
            <LabelsAppearance DataFormatString="{0}%" />
        </YAxis>
    </PlotArea>
    <Legend>
        <Appearance Visible="false" />
    </Legend>
    <ChartTitle Text="IE market share in 2011">
    </ChartTitle>
</telerik:RadHtmlChart>

Example 2: Binding the chart from Example 1 to an array of doubles.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    double[] ValuesArray = { 26.6, 26.5, 25.8, 24.3, 24.9, 23.2, 22.0, 22.4, 22.9, 21.7, 21.2, 20.2 };
    RadHtmlChart1.DataSource = ValuesArray;
    RadHtmlChart1.DataBind();
}
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
    Dim ValuesArray As Double() = {26.6, 26.5, 25.8, 24.3, 24.9, 23.2, _
     22.0, 22.4, 22.9, 21.7, 21.2, 20.2}
    RadHtmlChart1.DataSource = ValuesArray
    RadHtmlChart1.DataBind()
End Sub
