Render the Chart

Create the ScrollColumnChart.aspx.cs file and do the following:

  • Include the FusionCharts.DataEngine and FusionCharts.Visualization .dll files.
  • Create DataTable.
  • Add two columns and multiple rows to the DataTable.
  • Create a StaticSource using the DataTable.
  • Create an instance of DataModel class.
  • Add StaticSource as data source to the DataModel.
  • Instantiate column chart.
  • Set chart width and height.
  • Set the Scrollable property of the chart to true.
  • Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart.
  • Optionally, set chart title, subtitle, X-axis text, and Y-axis text.
  • Optionally, set the chart theme as fusion.
  • Return the chart rendering configuration into the server side literal, or set the chart configuration as Literal.text.

The code is shown below:

using FusionCharts.DataEngine;
using FusionCharts.Visualization;

namespace FusionChartsVisualisationWebFormsSamples.Samples {
    public partial class ScrollChart : System.Web.UI.Page {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataTable ChartData = new DataTable();
            string query = "select * from MonthlyRevenue";
            string connectionstring = null;
            string serverName = "FusionChartsServer";
            string databaseName = "FusionchartsSamplesDB";
            ChartData.Clear();
            connectionstring = "Data Source=" + serverName + ";Initial Catalog=" + databaseName + ";Trusted_Connection=true;";
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionstring))
            {
                con.Open();
                using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(query, con))
                using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(command))
                {
                    da.Fill(ChartData);
                }
            }
            StaticSource source = new StaticSource(ChartData);
            DataModel model = new DataModel();
            model.DataSources.Add(source);
            Charts.ColumnChart column = new Charts.ColumnChart("scroll_chart_db");
            column.Scrollable = true;
            column.Data.Source = model;
            column.Caption.Text = "Sales Trends";
            column.SubCaption.Text = "2016-2017";
            column.XAxis.Text = "Month";
            column.YAxis.Text = "Revenue";
            column.Width.Pixel(600);
            column.Height.Pixel(500);
            Literal1.Text = column.Render();
        }
    }
}

            connectionstring = "Data Source=" + serverName + ";Initial Catalog=" + databaseName + ";Trusted_Connection=true;";
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionstring))
            {

            StaticSource source = new StaticSource(ChartData);
            DataModel model = new DataModel();
            model.DataSources.Add(source);
            Charts.LineChart line = new Charts.LineChart("scroll_chart_db");
            line.Scrollable = true;
            line.Data.Source = model;
            line.Caption.Text = "Sales Trends";
            line.SubCaption.Text = "2016-2017";
            line.XAxis.Text = "Month";
            line.YAxis.Text = "Revenue";
            line.Width.Pixel(600);
            line.Height.Pixel(500);
            Literal1.Text = line.Render();

Scroll Area Chart

Now, let's learn how to create a Scrollable Area Chart. The code remains the same as that of the scroll line chart. The only difference is instead of instantiating a line chart you have to instantiate an area chart.

Render the Chart

Create a ScrollAreaChart.aspx.cs and do the following:

  • Include the FusionCharts.DataEngine and FusionCharts.Visualization .dll files.
  • Create DataTable.
  • Add two columns and multiple rows to the DataTable.
  • Create a StaticSource using the DataTable.
  • Create an instance of DataModel class.
  • Add StaticSource as data source to the DataModel.
  • Instantiate area chart.
  • Set chart width and height.
  • Set the Scrollable property of the chart to true.
  • Set DataModel instance as the data source of the chart.
  • Optionally, set chart title, subtitle, X-axis text, and Y-axis text.
  • Optionally, set the chart theme as fusion.
  • Return the chart rendering configuration into the server side literal, or set the chart configuration as Literal.text.

The code is shown below:

using FusionCharts.DataEngine;
using FusionCharts.Visualization;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace FusionChartsVisualisationWebFormsSamples.Samples {
    public partial class ScrollChart : System.Web.UI.Page {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataTable ChartData = new DataTable();
            string query = "select * from MonthlyRevenue";
            string connectionstring = null;
            string serverName = "FusionChartsServer";
            string databaseName = "FusionchartsSamplesDB";
            ChartData.Clear();
            connectionstring = "Data Source=" + serverName + ";Initial Catalog=" + databaseName + ";Trusted_Connection=true;";
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionstring))
            {
                con.Open();
                using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(query, con))
                using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(command))
                {
                    da.Fill(ChartData);
                }
            }
            StaticSource source = new StaticSource(ChartData);
            DataModel model = new DataModel();
            model.DataSources.Add(source);
            Charts.AreaChart area = new Charts.AreaChart("scroll_chart_db");
            area.Scrollable = true;
            area.Data.Source = model;
            area.Caption.Text = "Sales Trends";
            area.SubCaption.Text = "2016-2017";
            area.XAxis.Text = "Month";
            area.YAxis.Text = "Revenue";
            area.Width.Pixel(600);
            area.Height.Pixel(500);
            Literal1.Text = area.Render();
        }
    }
}
