1. Set the ChartType by editing your <c1chart:C1Chart> tag to resemble the following:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1chart:C1Chart Name="c1Chart1" ChartType="Bar" Margin="0,0,8,8" MinHeight="160" MinWidth="240" Content="C1Chart"> </c1chart:C1Chart>

2. In XAML, you add your data by using the C1Chart Data object:

XAML

Copy Code

<c1chart:C1Chart Name="c1Chart1" ChartType="Bar" Margin="0,0,8,8" MinHeight="160" MinWidth="240" Content="C1Chart"> <c1chart:C1Chart.Data> <c1chart:ChartData> <c1chart:ChartData.ItemNames> <x:Array Type="{x:Type System:String}"> <System:String>Hand Mixer</System:String> <System:String>Stand Mixer</System:String> <System:String>Can Opener</System:String> <System:String>Toaster</System:String> <System:String>Blender</System:String> <System:String>Food Processor</System:String> <System:String>Slow Cooker</System:String> <System:String>Microwave</System:String> </x:Array> </c1chart:ChartData.ItemNames> <c1chart:DataSeries Values="80 400 20 60 150 300 130 500" AxisX="Price" AxisY="Kitchen Electronics" Label="Price"/> </c1chart:ChartData> </c1chart:C1Chart.Data> </c1chart:C1Chart>

In this step we use one DataSeries that has eight X-values. We added ItemNames of the type string to the ChartData to represent the string name for each data value. We used an array of string names for the ItemNames since a few of the item names included spaces. We were able to use the System:String namespace since we declared the namespace for it in Step 1 of 4: Adding Chart to Your Project.

1. Right-click the MainPage.xaml file and select Code View.
2. Add the C1.Silverlight.C1Chart namespace directive

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Imports C1.Silverlight.Chart

 

C#	Copy Code
using C1.Silverlight.Chart;

3. Add the following code in the constructor Window1 class to create the Bar chart:

Visual Basic

Copy Code

' Clear previous data c1Chart1.Data.Children.Clear() ' Add Data Dim ProductNames As String() = {"Hand Mixer", "Stand Mixer", "Can Opener", "Toaster", "Blender", "Food Processor", "Slow Cooker", "Microwave"} Dim PriceX As Integer() = {80, 400, 20, 60, 150, 300, 130, 500} ' create single series for product price Dim ds1 As New DataSeries() ds1.Label = "Price X" 'set price data ds1.ValuesSource = PriceX ' add series to the chart c1Chart1.Data.Children.Add(ds1) ' add item names c1Chart1.Data.ItemNames = ProductNames ' Set chart type c1Chart1.ChartType = ChartType.Bar

 

C#

Copy Code

// Clear previous data c1Chart1.Data.Children.Clear(); // Add Data string[] ProductNames = { "Hand Mixer", "Stand Mixer", "Can Opener", "Toaster", "Blender", "Food Processor", "Slow Cooker", "Microwave" }; int[] PriceX = { 80, 400, 20, 60, 150, 300, 130, 500 }; // create single series for product price DataSeries ds1 = new DataSeries(); ds1.Label = "Price X"; //set price data ds1.ValuesSource = PriceX; // add series to the chart c1Chart1.Data.Children.Add(ds1); // add item names c1Chart1.Data.ItemNames = ProductNames; // Set chart type c1Chart1.ChartType = ChartType.Bar;
