Displaying data from N properties of a Business object in a Bar chart with N bars

[cbg3]

As the title suggests, I have a business object that has a number of public properties on it, some of which I want to display in a Bar chart, and others I do not. The values of the properties I do want to display should be aggregated from the n series of business objects I hand to the chart's DataSource property, with the sum of each property displayed in a column in the Bar chart. Thus, if each instance of the business object has 3 properties I want to display, the Bar chart should have 3 columns.

The code I'm using is below. The issues I'm experiencing are that each series of data produces a new column in the bar chart, which is not what I want. The DisplayNames I specify for the FieldMaps are being ignored. Lastly, the property I don't want displayed, IrrelevantProperty, is being displayed.

Thanks for your support.

Hi again,

After moving things around a bit in my code, I found that it seems order is important, and also figured out some things about series and points. Now I am able to get the data from the properties I want and not show the ones I don't. Still, the FieldMap.DisplayName is being ignored.
