Chart data not binding.

[Zeya Bakhtyar]

Scenario:

Generating a report and datasource is being assigned from code behind. Report has a table and a chart.

Issue:

Table generates correctly but chart does not. How do I tell chart what column to plot? I looked at the documentation but was not very helpful. Is there a way to debug if the chart's datasource is assigned correctly?

Thank you.

Hi Zeya,

As the Chart help article explains, you can bind the Chart item:

• From the Report Designer by setting its DataSource property
• By using its NeedDataSource event

If the latter, you should set the DataSource property to the processing chart item i.e.:

private void chart1_NeedDataSource(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart procChart = (Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart)sender;
    procChart.DataSource = your_datasource;
}

Except the documentation which covers the programmatic binding of the chart, you can review the chart series collection editor for properties specifying the columns to plot when binding declaratively. You can review our demo reports containing chart items to see how we have bound them.
