After the feedback from some colleagues and my own experience, I really think the Documentation for Ultrachart could use a big upgrade. The Classic ASP.net Chart allows you to easily choose, once connected to a SQLDatasource for example, which Table Column to show on the X and which on the Y Axis. It took a colleague of mine a whole day to figure out how to do this with an Ultrachart Line Chart and all the examples online are just hardcoded values. Is there a way to simply assign a sql table column to an axis from the designer? The videos are really great, i wish Infragistics would put more of those out there.
Another Problem we often had was using the Pareto Chart. Often the data is not organized in different columns, but simply different column values(Instead of Having three Columns ProductAQuantity,ProductBQuantity,ProductCQuantity the underlying sql datatable has a quantity(int) and a product column(ProductA, Product B...) . By default the Pareto Chart simply puts out the values as one Column named product.
Is there further documentation on the Ultrachart Component I am missing, especially for getting started ? The Charts themselves are great from look and feel, but working with them has been not very productive so far.
Hello Henning,
I will be happy to assist you with this inquiry.
You should be able to set the UltraChart's DataSource to be an SQLDataSource and manage your table through the DataSource. Also, you can find much documentation about the UltraChart by reviewing the links below:
