setting chart series values at runtime

[cbrydon]

Hello,

I am attempting to set the list of values and arguments for a line series on a chart in the BeforePrint event of the chart.
I've tried using the following code from another post as a guide, but can't quite figure out the correct syntax.

var chart = report.GetComponentByName("Chart1");
(((Stimulsoft.Report.Chart.StiAxis)(((Stimulsoft.Report.Chart.StiAxisArea)((chart as StiChart).Area)).XAxis)).Title).Text = "YourXAxisTitle";
(((Stimulsoft.Report.Chart.StiAxis)(((Stimulsoft.Report.Chart.StiAxisArea)((chart as StiChart).Area)).YAxis)).Title).Text = "YourYAxisTitle";
(((Stimulsoft.Report.Chart.StiAxis)(((Stimulsoft.Report.Chart.StiAxisArea)((chart as StiChart).Area)).YRightAxis)).Title).Text = "YourRightYAxisTitle";

I've tried code similar to the following, but I guess I don't quite understand the code I'm supposed to use.

var chart = report.GetComponentByName("Chart1");
chart.Series[0].ListOfValues = "12;14;16";

I get a message that says... 'Stimulsoft.Report.Components.StiComponent' does not contain a definition for 'Series'...

Can you point me in the right direction?
Is there a programmer's document/website that explains how to code like this?

Thanks,
Carl

Hello, Carl.

This code is not for the chart's event.
You should do this is your code before passing the report to the Viewer.
Here is a sample:

Code: Select all

var chart = report.GetComponentByName("Chart1");
((chart as StiChart).Series[0] as StiClusteredColumnSeries).ListOfValues.Value = "12;14;16";

Thank you.
