Simple LineSeries Chart not displaying

Hello all, I'm fairly new to MVVM. I can run the demonstration project and it works, but I cannot seem to get my own simple lineSeries chart up and running in a new project. I cannot figure out why my chart isn't doing anything - when I run my application nothing is displayed, I cannot see the chart, despite in the designer the selectable bounding box appearing in the center of the page. Below is my code:

MainPage.xaml:

<Page
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="using:SyncTest"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:Charts="using:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Charts"
    x:Class="SyncTest.MainPage"
    mc:Ignorable="d">

    <Grid Background="Wheat">
        <Page DataContext="UsersViewModel" />


        <Charts:SfChart HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="449" Margin="194,139,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="949" x:Name="test">

            <Charts:LineSeries

                ItemsSource="{Binding UsersList}"

                XBindingPath="TimeStamp"

                YBindingPath="NoOfUsers">

            </Charts:LineSeries>
        </Charts:SfChart>


    </Grid>
</Page>

            UsersList.Add(new UserProfile
            {
                TimeStamp = date.AddHours(0.5),
                NoOfUsers = 1000
            });
            UsersList.Add(new UserProfile
            {
                TimeStamp = date.AddHours(1),
                NoOfUsers = 5000
            });
            UsersList.Add(new UserProfile
            {
                TimeStamp = date.AddHours(1.5),
                NoOfUsers = 3000
            });
            UsersList.Add(new UserProfile
            {
                TimeStamp = date.AddHours(2),
                NoOfUsers = 4000
            });
            UsersList.Add(new UserProfile
            {
                TimeStamp = date.AddHours(2.5),
                NoOfUsers = 2000
            });
            UsersList.Add(new UserProfile
            {
                TimeStamp = date.AddHours(3),
                NoOfUsers = 1000
            });
        }
        public ObservableCollection<UserProfile> UsersList
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }
}


I have also tried again, this time following http://help.syncfusion.com/UG/winrt/default.htm#!Documents/lineseries.htm, but no luck

Am I missing some kind of initialiser out? 

Thanks

Hi Tom,

 

We have analyzed the reported code and we need to define the DataContext either for Chart directly or for its parent (i.e., its container) in the code snippet as shown below:

 

CodeSnippet[C#]:

<Page.DataContext>

        <local:UsersViewModel></local:UsersViewModel>

    </Page.DataContext>

 

We have prepared the sample by modifying (change DataContext declaration) your code. Please find the sample in the below location.  

                                                                                    

Please let us know if you require further assistance on this.

 

Regards,

Mohammed Azarudeen
