DataMember.ColumnName Property

Gets or sets the name of the data source column.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

[XtraSerializableProperty]
public string ColumnName { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Property ColumnName As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string value that defines the name of the data source column.

Example

This example shows how to create a series that requires one value per argument and populate it with data.

• Create a DataSourceAdapter object.
• Define the adapter DataSourceAdapter.DataSource property.
• Populate the adapter DataSourceAdapterBase.DataMembers collection. You should specify data members that contain arguments and values.
• Use the Series.DataAdapter property to assign the adapter to the series.
