Can you try just the data bindings for the Y and X values without the rest of the code?

Thanks, i guess i should have tried harder to figure that out... I have modified the code a little based on the datetimescale example, my datetime code looks like this -

' create a date time scale
Dim m_DateTimeScale As NDateTimeScaleConfigurator = New NDateTimeScaleConfigurator()
Dim dateTimeScale As NDateTimeScaleConfigurator = New NDateTimeScaleConfigurator()
Dim dateTimeUnits As ArrayList = New ArrayList()
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Millisecond)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Second)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Minute)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Hour)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Day)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Week)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Month)
dateTimeUnits.Add(NDateTimeUnit.Year)

Dim autoUnits As NDateTimeUnit() = New NDateTimeUnit(dateTimeUnits.Count - 1) {}
Dim i As Integer = 0
Do While i < autoUnits.Length
autoUnits(i) = CType(dateTimeUnits(i), NDateTimeUnit)
i += 1
Loop

m_DateTimeScale.EnableUnitSensitiveFormatting = True

m_DateTimeScale.AutoDateTimeUnits = autoUnits

''
m_DateTimeScale = dateTimeScale
m_DateTimeScale.LabelStyle.Angle = New NScaleLabelAngle(ScaleLabelAngleMode.Scale, 90)
m_DateTimeScale.LabelStyle.ContentAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
m_chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScaleConfigurator = dateTimeScale


Then i added the line - dataBindingManager.AddBinding(0, 0, "XValues", myData, "date")

when i run the code with the line dataBindingManager.AddBinding(0, 0, "XValues", myData, "date") i get an error;

The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x5631d0 to COM context 0x563340 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.

I have no idea what this means

When i run the code with the line commented out it all works fine(i guess this proves the rest of the code is good)

my timedate format is %d/%m/%Y %T.%f

Hi Andy,

Regarding your request:

>> the problem is I don't know how to tell the databindingmanager to add the 'date' column of the datasource and use it as the yaxis


You are probably referring to the X axis, because in the source code it is the one with DateTime scale.

Anyway, you bind the Y values with the following code:

dataBindingManager.AddBinding(0, 0, "Values", myData, "l1_volts")

and you can have the same thing for the XValues data series:

dataBindingManager.AddBinding(0, 0, "XValues", myData, "date")

In general, each data series should be bound to a column in the data source with a separate call to AddBinding.

Hi All, I have a MySQL database which will be loaded with info and i wish to display this as a sampled Line with multiple series.

Its almost working...

Using the examples I have created a Sampled Line Graph that successfully displays data from mySQL database, however its displaying the number of record on the Yaxis. So I took some code from the datetimescale example, the problem is I don't know how to tell the databindingmanager to add the 'date' column of the datasource and use it as the yaxis ? Below is the code i am using

' set a chart title
Dim title As NLabel = NChartControl1.Labels.AddHeader("Date Time Scale")
title.TextStyle.TextFormat = TextFormat.XML
title.TextStyle.FontStyle = New NFontStyle("Times New Roman", 18, FontStyle.Italic)
title.ContentAlignment = ContentAlignment.BottomCenter
title.Location = New NPointL(New NLength(50, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage), New NLength(2, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage))

' no legend
NChartControl1.Legends.Clear()

' Add a line series
Dim m_chart As NChart = NChartControl1.Charts(0)
Dim m_Line As NLineSeries = CType(m_chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Line), NLineSeries)

'm_Line = CType(m_Chart.Series.Add(SeriesType.Line), NLineSeries)
m_Line.Name = "Line Series"
m_Line.InflateMargins = True
m_Line.DataLabelStyle.Visible = True
m_Line.MarkerStyle.Visible = True
m_Line.MarkerStyle.BorderStyle.Color = Color.DarkRed
m_Line.MarkerStyle.PointShape = PointShape.Cylinder
m_Line.MarkerStyle.Width = New NLength(1.5F, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage)
m_Line.MarkerStyle.Height = New NLength(1.5F, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage)

m_Line.SamplingMode = SeriesSamplingMode.Enabled
m_Line.UseXValues = True

' create a date time scale
Dim m_DateTimeScale As NDateTimeScaleConfigurator
Dim dateTimeScale As NDateTimeScaleConfigurator = New NDateTimeScaleConfigurator()

m_DateTimeScale = dateTimeScale
m_DateTimeScale.LabelStyle.Angle = New NScaleLabelAngle(ScaleLabelAngleMode.Scale, 90)
m_DateTimeScale.LabelStyle.ContentAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
m_chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScaleConfigurator = dateTimeScale
Dim xAxis As NAxis = m_chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX)
xAxis.ScrollBar.Visible = True

' add interlaced stripe to the Y axis
Dim linearScale As NLinearScaleConfigurator = TryCast(m_chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).ScaleConfigurator, NLinearScaleConfigurator)
Dim stripStyle As NScaleStripStyle = New NScaleStripStyle(New NColorFillStyle(Color.Beige), Nothing, True, 0, 0, 1, 1)
stripStyle.Interlaced = True
stripStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Back, True)
stripStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Left, True)
linearScale.StripStyles.Add(stripStyle)

' apply style sheet
Dim styleSheet As NStyleSheet = NStyleSheet.CreatePredefinedStyleSheet(PredefinedStyleSheet.Nevron)
styleSheet.Apply(NChartControl1.Document)

Dim chart As NCartesianChart = CType(NChartControl1.Charts(0), NCartesianChart)
chart.RangeSelections.Add(New NRangeSelection())
chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryX).ScrollBar.Visible = True
chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY).ScrollBar.Visible = True

NChartControl1.Controller.Selection.Add(chart)

' configure interactivity
NChartControl1.Controller.Tools.Add(New NAxisScrollTool())
NChartControl1.Controller.Tools.Add(New NDataZoomTool())

myCommand.Connection = conn
myCommand.CommandText = SQL

myAdapter.SelectCommand = myCommand
myAdapter.Fill(myData)

Dim dataBindingManager As NDataBindingManager = NChartControl1.DataBindingManager

dataBindingManager.EnableDataBinding = True

dataBindingManager.AddBinding(0, 0, "Values", myData, "l1_volts")
dataBindingManager.UpdateChartControl()

NChartControl1.Refresh()
