I am using XamWebChart Column Chart of Silverlight controls v 10.2. Here on user click on column of column chart i want to get the bind item of the column. I tried DataItemMouseLeftButtonDown event by following post from infragistics forum:
https://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/f/retired-products-and-controls/36069/how-to-get-the-datapoint-value-in-line-splinearea-doughnut-charts/210089#210089

But still didnot get the sucess. on DataItemMouseLeftButtonDown event e. element is of type "ColumnChartDataPointTemplate" and "(e.element as ColumnChartDataPointTemplate).Tag always return null.
Also (e.Element as ColumnChartDataPointTemplate).PointIndex always return 0 instead of clicked item index.
Please help me for the same.
Hi jainnitin,
Since you are using a Column Chart, you should simply be able to do this on your MouseLeftButtonDown event:
private void Chart1_DataItemMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, Infragistics.Silverlight.Chart.DataItemMouseEventArgs e) { DataPointTemplate shape = e.Element as DataPointTemplate; if (shape != null) { DataPoint point = shape.DataPoint; } }
Hopefully this is what you are trying to achieve.
