Set ChartType Dynamically

[John]

Hi,

I have a Chart.. and a combobox that contains two items viz. 'Bar' and 'Line'. On select of the combobox item, i need to change my chart type. Since ChartType is and Enum... how can i change the ChartType based on the Combobox selected value?
Thanks in Advance
John

Hello John,

You can use the Enum.Parse(...) method to achieve the desired effect:

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadChart1.Series[0].Type = (ChartSeriesType) Enum.Parse(typeof(ChartSeriesType), DropDownList1.SelectedValue);
}
