FieldValueInfo	Gets an object which contains information about a field value to be displayed in a ChartControl.
ItemDataMember	Gets the type of a chart data member that will represent the current Pivot Grid Control item.
ItemType	Gets a value representing the type of a PivotGrid control’s item to be represented in a ChartControl.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add custom text to data prepared by the PivotGridControl, to display it in a ChartControl.

For this, it is necessary to handle the PivotGridControl.CustomChartDataSourceData event. In this event handler, you can determine the item type via the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType property and change the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.Value according to your custom requirements.
