PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this C# project, I use RadChart to create a 3x3 Heatmap using the Gantt Chart in code-behind.

Open the project within the Heatmap/Heatmap directory. Source code is in the Heatmap/HeatmapWebsite directory.

This project demonstrates how to add a user control to a web page. See the default.aspx page.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="uc" TagName="HeatMapChart" Src="~/HeatMap/HeatMapChart.ascx" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head runat="server">

<title>Residual Risk Heat Map</title>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<div>

<asp:Label ID="lblError" runat="server"></asp:Label>

<uc:HeatMapChart ID="HeatMapChart" runat="server" />

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

The calling page passes in the riskimpact and the risklikelihood. Normally these values would be retrieved from your database.

// retrieve these values from a database and pass in. For now we'll hard-code them.

int RiskLikelihood = 3;

int RiskImpact = 2;

HeatMapChart.LoadChart(RiskImpact, RiskLikelihood);

The Heatmapchart.ascx user control is found in the /Heatmapwebsite/Heatmap directory. In the user control, I use RadChart to display a heat map. In a 3x3 Heat Map Chart a bullet displays in the corresponding area of the chart.

The code-in-front simply stubs in the RadChart, our coding is in the code behind:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="HeatMapChart.ascx.cs"

Inherits="HeatMapChart" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

<%@ Register assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" namespace="Telerik.Charting" tagprefix="telerik" %>

<asp:Label ID="lblError" runat="server"></asp:Label>

<asp:Panel ID="panMain" runat="server">

<telerik:RadChart ID="chtHeatMap" runat="server">

</telerik:RadChart>

</asp:Panel>

We need to import Telerik.Charting:

using Telerik.Charting;

The RadChart is setup in the LoadChart function. This example shows how to use the Image FillType for the background labels.

This project demonstrates how to setup three ChartSeries; setup the PlotArea XAxis and YAxis, and add a ChartSeriesType.Bubble on the chart.

public void LoadChart(int impact, int likelihood)

{

ResetError();

try

{

// optionally you may setup the background with a skin or with a fillstyle color:

//chtHeatMap.Skin = "WebBlue"

// chtHeatMap.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#DADEE6")

chtHeatMap.Appearance.Border.Visible = true;

chtHeatMap.Appearance.Border.Width = 2;

chtHeatMap.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Image;

chtHeatMap.Appearance.FillStyle.FillSettings.BackgroundImage = "~\\HeatMap\\heatmap2.png";

chtHeatMap.Chart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Text = "Residual Risk Heat Map";

chtHeatMap.Chart.ChartTitle.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#DADEE6");

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.LayoutMode = Telerik.Charting.Styles.ChartAxisLayoutMode.Normal;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale = false;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.MinValue = 0;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.MaxValue = 3;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.Step = 1;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.MajorTick.Visible = false;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.AutoScale = false;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.MinValue = 0;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.MaxValue = 3;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.Step = 1;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.Appearance.MajorTick.Visible = false;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.Appearance.MinorTick.Visible = false;

chtHeatMap.PlotArea.YAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries seriesLow = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries();

chtHeatMap.AddChartSeries(seriesLow);

seriesLow.Type = ChartSeriesType.Gantt;

seriesLow.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries seriesMedium = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries();

chtHeatMap.AddChartSeries(seriesMedium);

seriesMedium.Type = ChartSeriesType.Gantt;

seriesMedium.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries seriesHigh = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries();

chtHeatMap.AddChartSeries(seriesHigh);

seriesHigh.Type = ChartSeriesType.Gantt;

seriesHigh.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

seriesLow.Name = "Low";

seriesMedium.Name = "Medium";

seriesHigh.Name = "High";

seriesLow.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#B3FFB3");

seriesMedium.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFFFB3");

seriesHigh.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#FFA6A6");

seriesLow.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

seriesMedium.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

seriesHigh.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

// optionally you may set the background with a solid color

//seriesLow.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Styles.FillType.Solid

//seriesMedium.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Styles.FillType.Solid

//seriesHigh.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Styles.FillType.Solid

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries seriesBubble = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries();

chtHeatMap.AddChartSeries(seriesBubble);

seriesBubble.Type = ChartSeriesType.Bubble;

seriesBubble.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.Nothing;

seriesBubble.Appearance.BubbleSize = 50;

seriesBubble.Appearance.PointDimentions.AutoSize = false;

seriesBubble.Appearance.PointDimentions.Height = 30;

seriesBubble.Appearance.PointDimentions.Width = 30;

seriesBubble.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Gradient;

seriesBubble.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#219CEF");

seriesBubble.Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#01467D");

seriesBubble.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

seriesBubble.Appearance.Border.Visible = false;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem lowItem1 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesLow.AddItem(lowItem1);

lowItem1.XValue = 0;

lowItem1.XValue2 = 1;

lowItem1.YValue = 1;

lowItem1.YValue2 = 0;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem lowItem2 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesLow.AddItem(lowItem2);

lowItem2.XValue = 0;

lowItem2.XValue2 = 1;

lowItem2.YValue = 2;

lowItem2.YValue2 = 1;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem lowItem3 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesLow.AddItem(lowItem3);

lowItem3.XValue = 1;

lowItem3.XValue2 = 2;

lowItem3.YValue = 2;

lowItem3.YValue2 = 0;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem mediumItem1 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesMedium.AddItem(mediumItem1);

mediumItem1.XValue = 0;

mediumItem1.XValue2 = 1;

mediumItem1.YValue = 3;

mediumItem1.YValue2 = 2;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem mediumItem2 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesMedium.AddItem(mediumItem2);

mediumItem2.XValue = 1;

mediumItem2.XValue2 = 2;

mediumItem2.YValue = 2;

mediumItem2.YValue2 = 1;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem mediumItem3 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesMedium.AddItem(mediumItem3);

mediumItem3.XValue = 2;

mediumItem3.XValue2 = 3;

mediumItem3.YValue = 3;

mediumItem3.YValue2 = 0;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem highItem1 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesHigh.AddItem(highItem1);

highItem1.XValue = 1;

highItem1.XValue2 = 2;

highItem1.YValue = 3;

highItem1.YValue2 = 2;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem highItem2 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesHigh.AddItem(highItem2);

highItem2.XValue = 2;

highItem2.XValue2 = 3;

highItem2.YValue = 3;

highItem2.YValue2 = 2;

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem highItem3 = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesHigh.AddItem(highItem3);

highItem3.XValue = 2;

highItem3.XValue2 = 3;

highItem3.YValue = 2;

highItem3.YValue2 = 1;

SetRating(impact, likelihood, seriesBubble);

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

SendError(ex.Message);

}

The SetRating function passes in the impact and likelihood and sets the Bubble to the corresponding location in the Heatmap.

protected void SetRating(int impact, int likelihood, Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries seriesBubble)

{

try

{

Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem bubbleItem = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesItem();

seriesBubble.AddItem(bubbleItem);

int xV = 0;

xV = impact - 1;

// zero based

bubbleItem.XValue = xV + 0.5;

int yV = 0;

yV = likelihood - 1;

// zero based

bubbleItem.YValue = yV + 0.5;

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

SendError(ex.Message);

}

Our SendError function simply populates the error label:

#region "Error Events"

protected void SendError(string errorMessage)

{

if (errorMessage != string.Empty)

{

lblError.Text = errorMessage;

lblError.Visible = true;

}

protected void ResetError()

{

lblError.Text = string.Empty;

lblError.Visible = false;

}

#endregion

P.S. Thanks to Ves, Telerik's support team, for providing a 2x2 code-in-front example. I have setup this project entirely in code-behind and added more features.
