Changing DataTemplate of Bar Series

[Dts]

Hi,
    I am creating application in that we have multiple series representing different data source just like line,bar,etc.Now what i want to accomplish is that i want to change the data template of bar series so that each rectangle will have of different color.I found this in Online documentation but it is accomplished in XAML. I did not find any resource of changing the template using C# code.Could you please help me to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I assume the resource from our online documentation you referred to is this one.

In C# you can simply manually create the data templates from code-behind and add them to the PointTemplates collection of the BarSeries. So instead of adding them in XAML like this:

<telerik:BarSeries Name="barSeries">
    <telerik:BarSeries.PointTemplates>
        <!-- ... -->
    </telerik:BarSeries.PointTemplates>
</telerik:BarSeries />

A similar effect can be achieved in code-behind like this:

DataTemplate dt1 = new DataTemplate { DataType = typeof(Rectangle) };
FrameworkElementFactory dt1Factory = new FrameworkElementFactory { Type = typeof(Rectangle) };
dt1Factory.SetValue(Rectangle.FillProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red));
dt1.VisualTree = dt1Factory;

DataTemplate dt2 = new DataTemplate { DataType = typeof(Rectangle) };
FrameworkElementFactory dt2Factory = new FrameworkElementFactory { Type = typeof(Rectangle) };
dt2Factory.SetValue(Rectangle.FillProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green));
dt2.VisualTree = dt2Factory;

DataTemplate dt3 = new DataTemplate { DataType = typeof(Rectangle) };
FrameworkElementFactory dt3Factory = new FrameworkElementFactory { Type = typeof(Rectangle) };
dt3Factory.SetValue(Rectangle.FillProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue));
dt3.VisualTree = dt3Factory;

this.barSeries.PointTemplates.Add(dt1);
this.barSeries.PointTemplates.Add(dt2);
this.barSeries.PointTemplates.Add(dt3);

Let me know if this helps.
