Question about binding to ChartSeriesProvider.Source ?

[Jan Białokozowicz]

In ChartView and PivotGrid integration tutorial\example
(http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radpivotgrid-features-radchartview-integration.html)

you have following xaml piece:

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.SeriesProvider>
    <telerik:ChartSeriesProvider Source="{Binding SeriesSource}" >
        <telerik:ChartSeriesProvider.SeriesDescriptors >
            <telerik:CategoricalSeriesDescriptor  x:Name="seriesDescriptor"  ItemsSourcePath="Items" ValuePath="Value" CategoryPath="NameX"/>
        </telerik:ChartSeriesProvider.SeriesDescriptors>
    </telerik:ChartSeriesProvider>
</telerik:RadCartesianChart.SeriesProvider>

I want to know how to do this line - but without XAML:

<telerik:ChartSeriesProvider Source="{Binding SeriesSource}" >

My concern is ChartSeriesProvider don't have SetBinding method, and i cant do this with RadCartesianChart.
Any help would be great :)

Greetings.

Hi Jan,

ChartSeriesProvider doesn't have a SetBinding() method because it inherits directly DependencyObject, instead of FrameworkElement. You can still use data binding, however instead of using the FrameworkElement.SetBinding() instance method you need to use the BindingOperations.SetBinding() static method. Here's an example:

Binding binding = new Binding("SeriesInfos") { Source = viewmodel };

BindingOperations.SetBinding(radCartesianChart1.SeriesProvider, ChartSeriesProvider.SourceProperty, binding);

I hope that this is the solution you are looking for. If it is not - please describe in more details your requirements.
