Visualize Data via Our Charting Control

The XtraPivotGrid now allows the data it displays to be visualized using the XtraCharts Suite. This is now possible because the PivotGrid can act as a data source for other controls. When used in this manner, it provides data from the current selection. Since IBindingList is supported, bound controls are automatically updated when cell selection changes.

The pivot grid returns data in a form that is easily consumed by the XtraCharts Suite. This means that there are three fields and these fields hold series names, arguments and values. Thus, you can simply bind an XtraChart to an XtraPivotGrid, map three fields to the appropriate properties and run the application. The pivot grid's current selection will be automatically visualized by the bound chart.
