#Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library Object Type Path to MaxAllowedPointCountInSeries
WinForms Controls ChartControl

.NET Reporting Tools XRChart

#Remarks

Use the MaxAllowedPointCountInSeries property, to avoid an untidy chart when too much data is obtained from its associated Pivot Grid.

Note

If the Chart’s data source is not a Pivot Grid, trying to set this property causes a NotSupportedException, and the MaxAllowedPointCountInSeries property returns false, when trying to get its value.

To obtain both the actual and available number of series (e.g. to notify a user that the Chart has been cut), use the PivotGridSeriesExcludedEventArgs.ActualSeriesCount and PivotGridSeriesExcludedEventArgs.AvailableSeriesCount properties.

To limit the number of series, use the PivotGridDataSourceOptions.MaxAllowedSeriesCount property.

For more information, see Pivot Charting (Integration with a Pivot Grid Control).
