MindFusion.Reporting provides several report items that can be used to visualize information as a chart. The following table lists the available charting elements along with a short description and their corresponding icon in the Visual Studio Toolbox:
Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Displays 2D and 3D bar charts. | |
| Displays line, area, scatter and bubble charts as well as different combinations of them. | |
| Displays both 2D and 3D pie and doughnut charts. | |
| Displays 2D and 3D radar and polar charts. |
To add a chart element to the report in the Designer, simply drag its icon from the Visual Studio Toolbox and drop onto the page surface. To bind the chart to a data source, you have to use the properties provided by that particular chart type. For example, to bind a BarChart object, you have to use its DataSource, DataMember and DataFields properties. For more information on how to data-bind chart elements, check Binding Reports to a Data Source. For a step-by-step tutorial on how to use charts in reports, visit Tutorial 4: Using Charts in Reports.
