Update chart on data change

[Dan Schubel]

I have a line chart that is using a BindingList as a data source. The same BindingList is also the data source for ms-datagridview on the same form.
What so I need to do to get the chart to reflect any edits made to the data source via the datagridview.
I have tried chart1.Update(), chart1.Refresh(), chart1.Redraw.
Am I missing something obvious?

p.s.
I have verified that the BindingList's data is actually changing

Hi DanSChubel,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

I am afraid, that I was unable to reproduce this issue. Could you please have a look on the below online sample and if the issue still exists, try to reproduce in a simple sample and send us the modified sample so that we could sort out the cause of the issue and provide you a solution.

Let me know if you have any concerns.

I added a button to the Windows Forms "Custom Collections" sample and I am able to update the chart when the source data changes via this code:
private void buttonAdv1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bindList[0].Population = 500;

ChartDataBindModel dataSeriesModel = new ChartDataBindModel(bindList);
dataSeriesModel.YNames = new string[] { "Population" };
chartControl2.Series[0].SeriesModel = dataSeriesModel;
}

But this leaves me with some questions...
Why is it necessary to reassign the ChartDatabindModel?
I have other code where data is added to the bindinglist that serves as the chart's datasource via a timer, and the chart updates automatically with no additional code.
I'm curious what the Update, Refresh, and Redraw methods do. I have been searching the documentation for a description of them, but haven't found anything.

Hi DanSchubel,

Thanks for the update.

Instead of binding the data again we suggest you to update the binding list and reset the particular row of the list.

Please refer the following code snippet:

[CS]
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            bindList[0].Population = 500;
            bindList.ResetItem(0);
}

Let me know if it helps.
