Hi All,

Here I am trying to assign the datasource (using same code given in the sample application) and create a graph, only difference is i am doing it in WPF WindowsFormsHost. due to some reason the datasource is not being assigned properly and i am not able to see the series ("Series 1") being created. wired thing is that it is working in the Windows Forms application but not in the WPF one.

am i missing something and can somebody help me?

Thanks

// initialize a connection string

// define the database query 
string mySelectQuery = "SELECT * FROM REPS;";

// create a database connection object using the connection string 
OleDbConnection myConnection = new OleDbConnection(myConnectionString);

// create a database command on the connection using query 
OleDbCommand myCommand = new OleDbCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection);
Chart Chart1 = new Chart();
// set chart data source
Chart1.DataSource = myCommand;

// set series members names for the X and Y values 
Chart1.Series"Series 1".XValueMember = "Name";
Chart1.Series"Series 1".YValueMembers = "Sales";

// data bind to the selected data source
Chart1.DataBind();

myCommand.Dispose();
myConnection.Close();
host.Child = Chart1;
this.grid1.Children.Add(host); 
}
