The Chart control supports data binding to a variety of data sources. A data
source is any element that serves as a source of data. When performing data
binding a connection is established with the data source, and data is then
retrieved from the source.
The following lists the possible data sources that can be bound to the Chart:
- DataView object.
- Data Reader objects (XML, SQL, OleDB).
- DataSet object.
- DataRow object.
- DataColumn object.
- Array object.
- List object.
- SqlCommand object (databinding using DataSource property only).
- OleDbCommand object (databinding using DataSource property only).
- SqlDataAdapter object (databinding using DataSource property only).
- OleDbDataAdapter object (databinding using DataSource property only).
- All IEnumerable objects.
Note that the type of data binding used may affect the availability of some data
sources.
