Today morning I got a call from SQL Server Guru  Pinal Dave and conversation was as below.

 

 

 

So, I started working on this. I decided to go ahead with hard coded data as below,

 

public class Bloggers
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public double Posts { get; set; }
    }

And function returning data is,

 

public static List<Bloggers> GetMembers()
        {
            List<Bloggers> lstMembers = new List<Bloggers>
                                        {
                                            new Bloggers
                                            {
                                                 Name ="Pinal",
                                                 Posts = 2000

                                            },
                                            new Bloggers
                                            {

                                                 Name ="Debugmode",
                                                 Posts = 400
                                            },

                                             new Bloggers
                                            {

                                                 Name ="Koiarala",
                                                 Posts = 1000


                                            },
                                              new Bloggers
                                            {

                                                 Name ="Mahesh",
                                                 Posts = 1500


                                            },


                                        };
            return lstMembers;
        }

 

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <controls:Panorama Title="Bloggers">

            <!--Panorama item one-->
            <controls:PanoramaItem Header="Series Chart">
                <Grid>
                    <charting:Chart x:Name="seriesChart" Background="Black">
                        <charting:ColumnSeries Background="Black" />
                    </charting:Chart>
                </Grid>
            </controls:PanoramaItem>

            <!--Panorama item two-->
            <controls:PanoramaItem Header="Pie Chart">
                <Grid>
                    <charting:Chart x:Name="pieChart"></charting:Chart>
                </Grid>
            </controls:PanoramaItem>
            <!--Panorama item three-->
            <controls:PanoramaItem Header="Scatter Chart">
                <Grid>
                    <charting:Chart x:Name="scatterChart"></charting:Chart>
                </Grid>
            </controls:PanoramaItem>
        </controls:Panorama>
    </Grid>

 

To add chart control on XAML, I added namespace on XAML as below ,

 

 xmlns:charting="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting;
assembly=System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Toolkit"

And on code behind as below,

 

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using Microsoft.Phone.Controls;
using System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting;
using System.Windows.Data;

Creating Column Series

ColumnSeries series = new ColumnSeries();
            seriesChart.Series.Add(series);
            series.SetBinding(ColumnSeries.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding());
            series.ItemsSource =  GetMembers();
            series.DependentValuePath = "Posts";
            series.IndependentValuePath = "Name";

There is nothing to get confused in above code. It is creating a Column Series and adding to the chart in the first panorama item. Expected output would be as below ,

 

Creating Pie Series

PieSeries pieSeries = new PieSeries();
            pieChart.Series.Add(pieSeries);
            pieSeries.SetBinding(PieSeries.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding());
            pieSeries.ItemsSource = Model.Factory.GetMembers();
            pieSeries.DependentValuePath = "Posts";
            pieSeries.IndependentValuePath = "Name";

Expected output is as below,

 

Creating Scatter Series

ScatterSeries scatterSeries = new ScatterSeries();
scatterChart.Series.Add(scatterSeries);
scatterSeries.SetBinding(ScatterSeries.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding());
scatterSeries.ItemsSource = Model.Factory.GetMembers();
scatterSeries.DependentValuePath = "Posts";
scatterSeries.IndependentValuePath = "Name";

Expected Output is as below,
