Hi! I have a problem, i would like to databind a PIE in a report, my code for binding a pie chart manually is like SAMPLE A, but i would like to assign YValue from a database, like the SAMPLE B, where i databind a bar chart from a database...

SAMPLE A
private void chart1_NeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
            chart1.Width = Unit.Pixel(300);  
            chart1.Height = Unit.Pixel(300);  
            ChartSeries s = new ChartSeries();  
            s.Name = "NameOfSerie";  
            s.Type = ChartSeriesType.Pie;  
            for (int i = 1; i < 6; i++)  
            {  
                ChartSeriesItem item = new ChartSeriesItem();  
                item.YValue =i* 3.5;  
                item.Label.TextBlock.Text = "A" + i.ToString();  
                s.Items.Add(item);               
            }  
            s.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode =ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.Nothing;  
            chart1.Series.Add(s);  
        } 

SAMPLE B
private void chart1_NeedDataSource(object sender, EventArgs e)  
        {  
            string sql =  @"SELECT TOP 10 Production.Product.ListPrice, Production.Product.Name, Production.Product.ProductID FROM Production.Product";  
            string connectionString ="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks;Integrated Security=True";  
            SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, connectionString);  
            DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();  
            adapter.Fill(dataSet);  
            ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries();  
            series.DataYColumn = "ProductID";  
            series.DataLabelsColumn = "Name";  
            chart1.SeriesOrientation=ChartSeriesOrientation.Horizontal;  
            chart1.Width =Unit.Pixel(300);  
            chart1.Height = Unit.Pixel(300);  
            chart1.Series.Add(series);  
            (sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.Chart).DataSource = dataSet.Tables[0].DefaultView;   
        } 


I would like to fill a pie chart from a database, instead of a bucle...I mean...Something similar to SAMPLE B, where you can assign a DataYColumn, a field from the datasource...


Thanks for your time and i hope to find some help here...
