Data binds the X-value and Y-values of the collection's data points to the specified data source's first columns.

The Y-value(s) of the DataPoint object added to the collection (one or more comma-separated values).

Data bind X and Y values of the data points to the data source. Data source can be the Array, Collection, Ole(SQL)DataReader, DataView, DataSet, DataTable or DataRow.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overloads Sub DataBindXY( _ ByVal xValue As IEnumerable, _ ByVal ParamArray yValues() As IEnumerable _ )

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
`Dim instance As DataPointCollection Dim xValue As IEnumerable Dim yValues() As IEnumerable instance.DataBindXY(xValue, yValues)`

C#
public void DataBindXY( IEnumerable xValue, params IEnumerable[] yValues )

Parameters

xValue

The data source that will supply the X-values for the data points. The first available column will be used.

The datasource that will supply the X-values for the data points. The first available column will be used.

Enumerable objects with X values.

yValues

The Y-value(s) of the DataPoint object added to the collection (one or more comma-separated values).
One or more enumerable objects with Y values.

Example

This example demonstrates how to bind name-value data to the chart.

Visual Basic	Copy Code
`Imports Dundas.Charting.WebControl ... ' Initialize an array of doubles Dim yval As Double() = {2, 6, 4, 5, 3} ' Initialize an array of string Dim xval As String() = {"Peter", "Andrew", "Julie", "Mary", "Dave"} ' Bind the double array to the Y axis points of the Default data series Chart1.Series("Series 1").Points.DataBindXY(xval, yval) ...`

C#	Copy Code
`using Dundas.Charting.WebControl; ... // Initialize an array of doubles double [] yval = { 2,6,4,5,3}; // Initialize an array of string string [] xval = { "Peter", "Andrew", "Julie", "Mary", "Dave"}; // Bind the double array to the Y axis points of the Default data series chart1.Series["Series 1"].Points.DataBindXY(xval,yval); ...`

Remarks

This method binds all DataPoint objects in a Series, and uses separate data sources for the X and Y-value(s).

Note that the first available column in the data source will be used if data-binding to a table. To bind to a column that is not the first use the DataBindXY (IEnumerable,string,IEnumerable,string) method.

You can bind to multiple Y-values by providing a comma-separated list of IEnumerable objects for the yValue[] parameter.

If Y-values are not provided by the data source, or the wrong number of values are provided an exception will be thrown.

The following is a list of objects that you can use as the datasource parameter:

DataView
Data readers (SQL, OleDB)
Arrays
Lists
All other objects that use the IEnumerable interface

If you do not want to display scatter-type plots (both X and Y-values used) then use one of the DataBindY methods instead.

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