WebChartControl.Series Property
Provides access to the chart control’s collection of series objects.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts.Web
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v19.2.Web.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| SeriesCollection | A SeriesCollection object that represents the collection of all series. |
Remarks
The Series property provides access to a collection of all series which are defined explicitly within a chart control (either at design time or runtime). The collection is represented by an instance of the SeriesCollection class, and allows individual series (which are instances of the Series class) to be added, deleted and accessed using indexer notation.
Note that series which are bound to data at the level of a web chart control (in particular, using the ASPxDataWebControlBase.DataSource, WebChartControl.SeriesDataMember and both the SeriesBase.ArgumentDataMember and SeriesBase.ValueDataMembers properties) are created dynamically, based upon the data obtained from the specified data source and they are not presented within the Series collection. In order to access such series, use the web chart control’s specific events (such as the WebChartControl.BoundDataChanged event, for instance). To perform a centralized customization of such series, use the settings which are available via the WebChartControl.SeriesTemplate property.
Example
This example shows how to add a web chart control to a web page, create a series and bind it to a data source.
- Create an ASP.NET Web Application (Visual studio 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017 or 2019), or open an existing one.
Open the form’s .aspx.cs file. In the Page.Load event handler, create a new WebChartControl class instance and add it to the form’s Controls collection.
Add the required assemblies and register them in the Web.config file. For more details, refer to the Adding a Web Chart document.
You can also add a WebChartControl at design time by dropping a WebChartControl onto the form from the toolbox. In this case, the required assemblies are automatically added. To learn how to do this, refer to the How to: Add a Chart to a Web Application document.
- Then, create a new series and add it to the chart.
- To assign a data source to the series, specify the Series.DataSource property.
- Define the SeriesBase.ArgumentDataMember and SeriesBase.ValueDataMembers properties to determine columns that provide data point arguments and values.

// Create a new bar series.
Series series = new Series("2017", ViewType.Bar);
// Add the series to the chart.

// Specify the series data source.
DataTable seriesData = GetData();
series.DataSource = seriesData;
// Specify an argument data member.
series.ArgumentDataMember = "Region";
// Specify a value data member.
series.ValueDataMembers.AddRange(new string[] { "Sales" });
// Rotate the diagram (if necessary).

public DataTable GetData() {
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[] {
new DataColumn("Region", typeof(string)),
new DataColumn("Sales", typeof(decimal))
});
table.Rows.Add("Asia", 5.289M);
table.Rows.Add("North America", 4.182M);
