Dynamic datasource & Multiple Y-axes
posted

Hello everyone,

We are currently struggling to implement a rather complex charting solution. We tried to base ourselves on examples we've found here, as well as examples for the regular Winforms chart. The challenge comes from a combination of charts, a dynamic datasource that has changing characteristics and the fact that we allow the user to make changes to the visual appearance of the chart and the selection of data. In all honesty we're a bit inexperienced in using the datavisualisation controls. We're hoping you could provide us with some help on getting this off the ground. If you could point us to some examples, or advise us on how to proceed, we'd appreciate it greatly :) 

There are a couple requirements that we need to follow:
 - our datasource is a dataset, the columns in its datatables vary and we have no way of knowing in advance how they will be structured, in addition the user will make a selection of columns to display data for
 - Generically speaking, we have a label column and a number of value columns per row. The different values columns have hugely divergent ranges so they would need to be plotted on different Y-axes
 - The user will select a chart type at runtime, either columns or lines chart, or combinations of the two

The biggest challenge at this point seems to be the multiple Y-axes and switching between chart types.

    Hello Sidhume,

    There is a really good blog post about the UltraChart that you might want to take a look at.  Check that out and then let me know if you still have any questions.
