Members

Name	Description
Argument	Specifies that sorting is performed by the argument values of a series’ data points.
Value_1	Specifies that series points are sorted based on the first data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data, Value_1 indicates the Low value. For BoxPlot series, it indicates the Min value.
Value_2	Specifies that series points are sorted based on the second data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data, Value_2 indicates the High value. For BoxPlot series, it indicates the Quartile1 value.
Value_3	Specifies that series points are sorted based on the third data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data, Value_3 indicates the Open value. For BoxPlot series, it indicates the Median value.
Value_4	Specifies that series points are sorted based on the fourth data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For financial data, Value_4 indicates the Close value. For BoxPlot series, it indicates the Quartile3 value.
Value_5	Specifies that series points are sorted based on the fifth data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For BoxPlot series, it indicates the Max value.
Value_6	Specifies that series points are sorted based on the sixth data value within the SeriesPoint.Values array of a series’s data points. For BoxPlot series, it indicates the Mean value.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a ChartControl with a series of the PieSeriesView type, and add this chart to a form at runtime.

Note that this series view type is associated with the SimpleDiagram type, and you should cast your diagram object to this type, in order to access its specific options.
