How to: Implement a Custom Chart Data Adapter

This example shows how to create an adapter that loads numeric data to the chart:

using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace CustomDataAdapter {
    public partial class Form1 : Form {
        const long DataItemCount = 100000;
        const int MaxValue = 100;
        const int MinValue = 80;
        Random rand = new Random();
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();

            Series series = new Series("Series", ViewType.Line);
            chartControl1.Series.Add(series);

            List<DataItem> dataItems = new List<DataItem>();
            for (int i = 0; i < DataItemCount; i++) {
                dataItems.Add(new DataItem(i, rand.NextDouble() * (MaxValue - MinValue) + MaxValue));
            }

            series.DataAdapter = new CustomNumericDataAdapter(dataItems);

            ((XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram).AxisY.WholeRange.AlwaysShowZeroLevel = false;

        }
    }
    public class DataItem {
        public double Argument { get; }
        public double Value { get; }
        public DataItem(double argument, double value) {
            Argument = argument;
            Value = value;
        }
    }
    public class CustomNumericDataAdapter : ISeriesAdapter {
        readonly IList<DataItem> items;
        public bool DataSorted => true;
        public int ItemsCount => this.items.Count;
        public CustomNumericDataAdapter(IList<DataItem> items) {
            this.items = items;
        }
        event NotifyChartDataChangedEventHandler IChartDataAdapter.DataChanged {
            add { }
            remove { }
        }
        public object Clone() {
            return this;
        }
        public double GetNumericalValue(int index, ChartDataMemberType dataMember) {
            switch (dataMember) {
                case ChartDataMemberType.Argument: return items[index].Argument;
                case ChartDataMemberType.Value: return items[index].Value;
            }
            return double.NaN;
        }
        public object GetSourceObject(int index) {
            return this.items[index];
        }
        public ActualScaleType GetScaleType(ChartDataMemberType dataMember) {
            return ActualScaleType.Numerical;
        }
        public DateTime GetDateTimeValue(int index, ChartDataMemberType dataMember) {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
        public string GetQualitativeValue(int index, ChartDataMemberType dataMember) {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
        public TimeSpan GetTimeSpanValue(int index, ChartDataMemberType dataMember) {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
        public object GetObjectValue(int index, ChartDataMemberType dataMember) {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
    }
}
