Name	Description
None	Indicates that the field’s type is undefined and determined based on the returned object during chart initialization.
String	Indicates that the field returns a string value as a sequence of UTF-16 code units (the String type).
DateTime	Indicates that the field returns a value expressed as a date and time of day (the DateTime type).
TimeSpan	Indicates that the field returns a value as a time interval (the TimeSpan type).
Byte	Indicates that the field returns an 8-bit unsigned integer value (the Byte type).
Int16	Indicates that the field returns a 16-bit signed integer value (the Int16 type).
Int32	Indicates that the field returns a 32-bit signed integer value (the Int32 type).
Float	Indicates that the field returns a single-precision floating-point value (the Single type).
Double	Indicates that the field returns a double-precision floating-point value (the Double type).
Decimal	Indicates that the field returns a decimal value (the Decimal type).
Boolean	Indicates that the field returns a Boolean (true or false) value (the Boolean type).
Guid	Indicates that the field returns a global unique identifier value (the Guid type).

Remarks

The FieldType property specifies the type of values (Boolean, DateTime, String, etc.) a calculated field returns after its expression is evaluated. The ChartCalculatedFieldType enumeration lists the available types.

Example

The following example shows how to create a calculated field and then use this field as a data source for a series. The field’s values are calculated by the following expression: [Time.Seconds] * [Velocity].
