For a WPF project with Dev Express, is there a way i can define a series in the .xaml.cs file and reference this in the xaml file instead of manually writing the points as shown -
<Window x:Class="Bubble2DChart.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:dxc="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/charts" Title="Window1" Height="350" Width="620">
<Grid>
<dxc:ChartControl>
<dxc:ChartControl.CrosshairOptions>
<dxc:CrosshairOptions ShowValueLine="True" ShowValueLabels="True"/>
</dxc:ChartControl.CrosshairOptions>
<dxc:ChartControl.Diagram>
<dxc:XYDiagram2D>
<dxc:XYDiagram2D.Series>
<dxc:BubbleSeries2D Transparency="0.2" AutoSize="False" MinSize="1" MaxSize="3" ColorEach="True"
CrosshairLabelPattern="Argument: {A}; Value: {V}; Weight: {W}">
<dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Points>
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="A" Value="100" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.9" />
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="B" Value="60" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.8" />
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="C" Value="30" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.5" />
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="D" Value="43" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.4" />
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="E" Value="11" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.4"/>
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="F" Value="29" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.2"/>
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="G" Value="12" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.2"/>
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="H" Value="21" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.2"/>
<dxc:SeriesPoint Argument="I" Value="28" dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Weight="0.2"/>
</dxc:BubbleSeries2D.Points>
</dxc:BubbleSeries2D>
</dxc:XYDiagram2D.Series>
<dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisY>
<dxc:AxisY2D GridLinesMinorVisible="True" >
<dxc:AxisY2D.WholeRange>
<dxc:Range MinValue="0" MaxValue="130"
SideMarginsValue="0" />
</dxc:AxisY2D.WholeRange>
</dxc:AxisY2D>
</dxc:XYDiagram2D.AxisY>
</dxc:XYDiagram2D>
</dxc:ChartControl.Diagram>
</dxc:ChartControl>
</Grid>
I suggest you to go through documentation: Bind a Series to a Data Source
To do this, assign your data source to the Series.DataSource property, and define the Series.ArgumentDataMember
and Series.ValueDataMember
properties.
You can bind a Chart to an Observable Collection, Data from an MDB File, Static Resource etc. You can follow the example to implement your functionality.
