Binding Axis Labels

[Andrew Bancroft]

I'm trying to have an axis label bind to a property in my View Model. The View Model is set as the window Data Context. Here's the XAML:











However, this gives a runtime error:
BindingExpression path error: 'PlotAxisLabels' property not found on 'object' ''ChartAxis'

It looks like the ChartAxis is somehow separated from the visual tree and therefore WPF can't find the parent entities data context?

Or am I doing it wrong?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

We couldn't reproduce the issue mentioned by you. Please refer to the attached sample from the below given link, in which we have also used a ViewModel as DataContext. We could see that the axis header is binding properly.

Sample illustrates

binding ChartAxis

Please let us know if you could still reproduce the issue.

Thanks Sujitha, thats exactly what I was looking for.

I am bit curious why we need to do this to bind a textbox inside chart axis -



why doesn't this works



This works outside the Syncfusion chart?

Hi Abhishek ,

Thanks for choosing Syncfusion Products.

DataContext of the axis header is Chart Axis instead of the ChartViewModel.

I have modified the sample to illustrate this. I have added a message box with the Context menu details in loaded event.

When we use the below code,



the header value is not binded. Because the chart axis DataContext (Chart Axis ) doesn't have the property named "PrimaryAxisName".

If you use the below code,



the primary axis name will be binded to the text block,because the datacontext of the chart axis is ChartViewModel and it has the property named "PrimaryAxisHeader".

Please test this sample and let you know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Poorani
