Time Series Controls

Data Binding

This page describes how to data bind the time series controls . The time series controls of the .Net Analytics package include the following:

Individuals (IndChart)
Moving Range (MovRngChart)
Moving Average (MovAvgChart)
Xbar (XbarChart)
Range (RangeChart)
Standard Deviation (StdDevChart)
RMS Deviation (RMSDevChart)

The first step is to include the necessary namespaces for the controls and add a chart.

Programmatically Databind a Chart

Below, we will programmatically databind an Individuals chart (named indChart in the examples below). You can also use the Properties window to graphically access the databound properties for the chart. The process is similar for all of the other charts:

[Visual Basic]

' Add some data to the dataset dsDataSet - could also have dataset bound 
                  to a database

                  DataRow drRow = dsDataSet.Tables(0).NewRow()

                  drRow(0) = 0.134

                  dsDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Add(drRow)

                  drRow = dsDataSet.Tables(0).NewRow()

                  drRow(0) = 0.423

                  dsDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Add(drRow)

                  drRow = dsDataSet.Tables(0).NewRow()

                  drRow(0) = 0.314

                  dsDataSet.Tables(0).Rows.Add(drRow)

                  

                  ' Programmatically set the databound fields

                  indChart.DataSource = dsDataSet.Tables(0)

                  indChart.DataValueField = "ValueColumn"

[Visual C#]

// Add some data to the dataset dsDataSet - could also have dataset bound to 
                  a database

                  DataRow drRow = dsDataSet.Tables[0].NewRow();

                  drRow[0] = 0.134;

                  dsDataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Add(drRow);

                  drRow = dsDataSet.Tables[0].NewRow();

                  drRow[0] = 0.423;

                  dsDataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Add(drRow);

                  drRow = dsDataSet.Tables[0].NewRow();

                  drRow[0] = 0.314;

                  dsDataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Add(drRow);

                  

                  // Programmatically set the databound fields

                  indChart.DataSource = dsDataSet.Tables[0];

                  indChart.DataValueField = "ValueColumn";

After the data binding, the resulting chart should look similar to the following:
