Selection demo

Run Demo: Selection

public HeatmapSelection() {
    InitializeComponent();
    List<ProductSale> data = LoadData();
    HeatmapDataAdapter.DataSource = data;
    HeatmapDataAdapter.XArgumentComparer = new OriginalOrderComparer();
    heatmapControl1.SelectedItems.Add(data[0]);
}
List<ProductSale> LoadData() {
    List<ProductSale> data = new List<ProductSale>();
    try {
        XDocument sales_xml = XDocument.Load(Utils.GetRelativePath("ProductSales.xml"));
        foreach (XElement monthSale in sales_xml.Root.Elements()) {
            string product = monthSale.Element("Product").Value;
            string month = monthSale.Element("Month").Value;
            List<DailySale> dailySales = new List<DailySale>();
            foreach (XElement daySale in monthSale.Elements("SalesByDay").Elements("DailySale")) {
                dailySales.Add(new DailySale() {
                    Product = product,
                    Date = Convert.ToDateTime(daySale.Element("Date").Value),
                    Revenue = Convert.ToDouble(daySale.Element("Revenue").Value)
                });
            }
            data.Add(new ProductSale() { SalesByDay = dailySales });
        }
    }
    catch {
    }
    return data;
}
void heatmapControl1_SelectedItemsChanged(object sender, XtraCharts.SelectedItemsChangedEventArgs e) {
    List<DailySale> list = new List<DailySale>();
    foreach (ProductSale item in heatmapControl1.SelectedItems)
        list.AddRange(item.SalesByDay);
    chartControl1.DataSource = list;
