) 

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As DataPointCollection Dim dataSource As IEnumerable Dim xField As String Dim yFields As String Dim otherFields As String   instance.DataBind(dataSource, xField, yFields, otherFields)

public void DataBind( 
   IEnumerable dataSource,
   string xField,
   string yFields,
   string otherFields
)

Parameters

dataSource

The data source to bind the Chart to. Can be one of the following: Ole(SQL)DataReader, or DataView.
Data source.

xField

Name of the field used for X-values.
Name of the field for X values.

yFields

Comma separated name(s) of the field(s) used for Y-value(s).
Comma separated name(s) of the field(s) for Y value(s).

otherFields

Extended chart properties to bind to datasource (see below for further details).
Other point properties binding rule in format: PointProperty=Field[{Format}] [,PointProperty=Field[{Format}]]. For example: "Tooltip=Price{C1},Href=WebSiteName".

This method can be used to bind multiple Y-values and X-values to a datasource, as well as extended chart properties.

The datasource is iterated once per created series, which might result in a performance hit. If performance is critical use the DataBindXY method instead (note, however, that the DataBindXY method cannot bind to extended chart properties) or the DataBindCrossTab method.

Other data point properties besides X and Y-values can be bound using the otherFields parameter. The format is: PointProperty=Field[{Format}] [,PointProperty= Field[{Format}]]. For example:"Tooltip=Price{C1},Href=WebSiteName". A list of these properties are as follows: AxisLabel, Tooltip, Href, Label, LegendText,  LegendTooltip and CustomAttributeName (the name of a custom attribute).

Note: We highly recommend reading the Data Binding topic for help in determining how to bind your data.
