Horizontal Stacked Bar Chart Y axis

[Joe Lozina]

Hi

Ive created a Horizontal Stacked Bar Chart and it looks fine whn I follow the example and only use and array of double.

The problem is when I want to use a y axis value and Id like the Z axis to be a string.

I created a  Class ChartResults to hold the values

public ChartResults(double total, string typeValue)
{
    this.Total = total;
    this.TypeValue = typeValue;
}

When I try to fill the sample data. Ive only put one SeriesMapping in the below example to make it easier to read

private void FillSampleChartData()

  {

      SeriesMapping sm1 = new SeriesMapping();

      StackedBarSeriesDefinition d1 = new HorizontalStackedBarSeriesDefinition();

      d1.StackGroupName = "Stack1";

      sm1.SeriesDefinition = d1;

      sm1.LegendLabel = "One";

      sm1.CollectionIndex = 0;

 
                 .............................................

 

      ItemMapping im1a = new ItemMapping("TypeValue", DataPointMember.YValue);

      ItemMapping im1b = new ItemMapping("Total", DataPointMember.XValue);

      sm1.ItemMappings.Add(im1a);

      sm1.ItemMappings.Add(im1b);

 

 

      RadChart1.SeriesMappings.Add(sm1);

                ..........................................................   

               

 

 

      List<ChartResults[]> itemsSource = new List<ChartResults[]>();

      ChartResults[] one= new ChartResults[] { new ChartResults(83, "a"), new ChartResults(75, "a"), new ChartResults(80, "a") };

      itemsSource.Add(one);

 

      RadChart1.ItemsSource = itemsSource;

 

  }

I get the follwoing error
unhandled exception in Silverlight Application
System.FormatException:Input string was not in a correct format

Can you let me know what I am doing wrong?

Regards,
Joe

Hi Joe Lozina,

You should map the string field TypeValue to DataPointMember.XCategory and the double field Total to DataPointMember.YValue. You can find more information on enabling the categorical axis mode here as well.

Hope this helps.
