NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

#Declaration

#Property Value

Type Description
Int32

An integer value, specifying the maximum number of series in the Chart; 0 for no limit. The default is 10.

#Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Library Object Type Path to MaxAllowedSeriesCount
WinForms Controls ChartControl
.PivotGridDataSourceOptions .MaxAllowedSeriesCount
.NET Reporting Tools XRChart
.PivotGridDataSourceOptions .MaxAllowedSeriesCount
ASP.NET MVC Extensions ChartControlSettings
.PivotGridDataSourceOptions .MaxAllowedSeriesCount
ASP.NET Web Forms Controls WebChartControl

#Remarks

Use the MaxAllowedSeriesCount 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 MaxAllowedSeriesCount property returns false when trying to get its value.

To obtain both the actual and available number of points in a series (e.g. to notify a user that the Chart has been cut), use the PivotGridSeriesPointsExcludedEventArgs.ActualSeriesPointCount and PivotGridSeriesPointsExcludedEventArgs.AvailableSeriesPointCount properties.

To limit the number of points in a Chart’s series, use the PivotGridDataSourceOptions.MaxAllowedPointCountInSeries property.

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