Provides access to the collection of data members.

Namespace: DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.UI.Xaml.Charts.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Uwp.Controls

Declaration

C#

public DataMemberCollection DataMembers { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property DataMembers As DataMemberCollection

Property Value

Type	Description
DataMemberCollection	A DataMemberCollection object.

Remarks

For more information, refer to Providing Data.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to bind a chart to data provided by a ViewModel.

To do this, it is necessary to assign the DataSourceAdapter object to the Series.Data property and specify the datasource for the adapter via its DataSourceAdapter.DataSource property.
