ISeriesTemplateAdapter Interface

Should be implemented by any class that can be used as a data adapter that creates series based on a template.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

public interface ISeriesTemplateAdapter :
    IChartDataAdapter,
    ICloneable

VB.NET

Public Interface ISeriesTemplateAdapter
    Inherits IChartDataAdapter,
             ICloneable

Related API Members

The following members return ISeriesTemplateAdapter objects:

• SeriesTemplate.DataAdapter

Remarks

The following example shows how to implement a series template adapter. This adapter is used to create two series with numeric arguments and values:
