Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a 2D Candle Stick chart.

1. Create a ChartControl and set its ChartControl.Diagram property to a XYDiagram2D object. Note that the ChartControl.Diagram is a content property. You can declare a diagram in XAML after a chart control’s declaration without wrapping it in opening and closing ChartControl.Diagram tags.

2. Add a StockSeries2D object to the Diagram.Series collection. Note that the Diagram.Series is a content property. You can declare series in XAML after a diagram’s declaration without wrapping them in opening and closing Diagram.Series tags.

3. Use the following properties to bind the series to data:

   • Series.DataSource - Specifies the series’s data source.
   • Series.ArgumentDataMember - Defines the data member that provides the series’s arguments.
   • FinancialSeries2D.OpenValueDataMember - Specifies the data member that contains data for Open point values.
   • FinancialSeries2D.HighValueDataMember - Defines the data member that contains data for High point values.
   • FinancialSeries2D.LowValueDataMember - Specifies the data member that contains data for Low point values.
   • FinancialSeries2D.CloseValueDataMember - Specifies the data member that contains data for Close point values.
