Binding DataSet / DataTable to Chart

[Vinay]

Hello All,
My requirement is to assign datasource to a chart at run time.

My datasource is set of items[ on X axis] and prices[ on Yaxis].

But when I try to assign any string to X axis or Y axis it does not allow me to do that.
Only datatypes I could find is double & dateTime, but in my case this will not work.

Please give me suggestions on how to solve this.

Thanks
Vinay

Hello Vinay, To work with string datatype, you can have the ChartValueType property set to Custom. This property helps in implementing user-defined datatypes. The code snippet for the same is shown below: this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Custom; Please refer to the sample attached below and let me know if you have any questions. sample_8698.zip Thanks, Geetha.
