Hi,

I have a 3 col dataset that returns the following :

name amount month

-----------------------------------------

John 8 January

John 4 March

Peter 3 January

Mark 9 March

Ray 12 April

Ray 8 March

I want to have a line chart set to show the amount on the vertical (top to

bottom values). and the months as the horizontal values( from left to right)

I wan to then have the chart display each person as a series.

My code just sets the datasource of the chart to the result set above, but

doesn't show the data as i need it.

Is there away to do what I want?

Thanks

You need to use the CrossTab data provider. The Data Wizard (Adjust Data To 

Chart option in the Smart Tags) will help you do this very easily, simply

select a dataset with this structure (string,string,numeric) and you will be

guided through.

For more information on the CrossTab data provider please refer to the

programmer´s guide under "Passing Data -> Crosstab Data Provider".

Hi,

Trying to convert the Sample C# code (which is not a language I use) into

VB(as there are no examples)

Sample :

DataTableProvider dt = new DataTableProvider(ds.Tables[0]);

CrosstabDataProvider cfxCT = new CrosstabDataProvider();

My attempt at VB.net

Dim dt As New

ChartFX.WinForms.DataProviders.DataTableProvider(DsDataSet.Tables("ChartData"))

Dim ct As New ChartFX.WinForms.DataProviders.

Problem is that there is no cross tab data provider in the dataproviders

tool tip/autocomplete ...

I guess I am doing this wrong... what should I have there.

Hi,

I have already got the imports chartfx.winforms, and when I type the

following the tool tips/autocomplete (what its called when the hit the ´.´

key and VS pops up a box with the possible options) it contains only :

datareaderprovider, datatableprovider, dataviewprovider, textorovider

there is not crosstabdataprovider....

are there any VB.net sample you can point me to ?

As Frank said, you need to add a reference to ChartFX.WinForms.Data.dll

This file is located here C:\Program Files\Chart FX for Visual Studio

2005\bin

Your version of "C:\Program Files\Chart FX for Visual Studio 2005" might be

different.

1) Open the Solution Explorer.

2) Right-Click on your project file and choose "Add Reference"

3) Choose Browse Tab - There you should need to browse to the aforementioned

directory.

Hope this helps.
