Databinding Complex Itemssource

[MD]

Hello,

I'm trying to bind a complex datasource to a line series chart without any luck.

The itemssource is structured as follows:

Root
|
-CollectedValues-values[]
|
...
|
-TimeStamp-timestamps[]
|
...

My XAML looks like this:

<chart:LineSeries XBindingPath="CollectedValues.values"
	          YBindingPath="TimeStamp.timeStamps"
                  ItemsSource="{Binding MyDataPath}">

The chart remains empty (the itemssource has the desired content available) and the following error gets logged:

Error: Converter failed to convert value of type 'MyApp.Models.Data+Root, MyApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' to type 'IBindableIterable'; BindingExpression: Path='MyDataPath' DataItem='MyApp.ViewModels.MainPageViewModel'; target element is 'Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Charts.LineSeries' (Name='null'); target property is 'ItemsSource' (type 'IBindableIterable').

How do I properly bind the chart to my itemssource?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Marco,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We analyzed your requirement of binding complex data source and prepared samples in "Complex Binding" and "Array Binding". Please find the attached samples from the link below.

Complex Binding: Complex_Binding_Prop
Array Binding: Complex_Binding_Array

For more information please refer the following UG link:

Thanks for the samples but it ain't working the error still occurs with my itemssource.

Error: Converter failed to convert value of type 'MyApp.Models.Data+Root, MyApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' to type 'IBindableIterable'; BindingExpression: Path='MyDataPath' DataItem='MyApp.ViewModels.MainPageViewModel'; target element is 'Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Charts.LineSeries' (Name='null'); target property is 'ItemsSource' (type 'IBindableIterable').

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the update.

We have modified the complex binding sample to achieve your requirement. Please find the sample from the link below.
Complex_Binding_ProArr 

If this doesn’t satisfy your requirement, please provide us a sample with the use case of your scenario, it would be more helpful for us to provide you the solution.

This didn't work either. It seems that the control can't handle nested itemssources. I've made a new nested list in a fresh app and the same error occured.

I worked around it by making a flat itemssource.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for the update.

SfChart having provision to bind complex properties in chart series. IEnumerable types (Array, IList etc.,) can be bind only in the ItemsSource property and in XBindingPath and YBindingPath properties, we can bind only primitive datatype properties.
