Creating an object array of two value arrays dynamically – application: highcharts dotnet

Question

I'm hoping to get a quick solution to this.

Here is a snippet of the code that works when creating a series:

  Series SeriesABC2 = new Series
            {
                Name = '#' + HakuAlueet[1],
                Data = new Data(
                    new object[]{ 
                            new[] {  300, 440 },
                            new[] {  400, 540 }
                            }),
                PlotOptionsArearange = new PlotOptionsArearange { Visible = true, LineWidth = 0, FillOpacity = 0.3 },
                Type = ChartTypes.Arearange
            };

Now the plan is to make this dynamic creating the values in the object "new[] { 300, 440 }, new[] { 400, 540 }" inside .net C#. I'm quite new to C# so I'm not quite sure of the naming convention, but I seem to need to make an array object of an two value arrays. How would I go about this?

I've tried countless ways of managing this but just haven't found a solution that would be acceptable to dotnet.Highcharts. Thanks!

Answer 1

string[] books= source.Select(a => a.bookName).ToArray();
object[] visits = source.Select(a => (object)a.Visits).ToArray();

DotNet.Highcharts.Highcharts chart = new DotNet.Highcharts.Highcharts("chart")
                 .InitChart(new Chart { DefaultSeriesType = ChartTypes.Bar,
                                        Width = 900 
                  }).SetPlotOptions(new PlotOptions {
                       Bar = new PlotOptionsBar {
                                     ColorByPoint = true,
                                     DataLabels = new PlotOptionsBarDataLabels {
                                                          Enabled = true }
                                     }
                 }).SetXAxis(new XAxis { Categories = books,
                 }).SetSeries(new Series
                         {
                             Data = new Data(visits),
                             Name = "User Book Visits"
                         });
lb_chart.Text = chart.ToHtmlString();

Here source contain data where I am querying some dynamic content. This is working and hope this will also help you.
