Binding datasource to Barseries

Question

I am attempting a telerik barseries control to plot some data. This is only my sample and I cant get it to working. I followed the examples available and read about data binding and still cant get to why this is not working for me.

Here is what I have done.

Define a basic class:

    public class CountClass
    {
        private int count;
        private string name;

        public string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return name
            }
            set
            {
                name= value;
            }
        }

        public int Count
        {
            get
            {
                return count;
            }
            set
            {
                count= value;
            }
        }

        public CountClass(string tempname, int value)
        {
            name = tempname;
            count = value;
        }
    }


public class QClass : Telerik.Windows.Controls.ViewModelBase
{
    private CountClass q1;
    private CountClass q2;

public QClass()
        {
        }

    public CountClass Q1
    {
        get
        {
            q1 = new CountClass ("Count1", 100);
            return q1;
        }
    }

    public CountClass Q2
    {
        get
        {
            q2 = new CountClass ("Count2", 200);
            return q2;
        }
    }
}

public partial class MainPage : UserControl
this.DataContext = new SilverlightApplication2.QClass();

And xaml:

<chartView:BarSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Q1}"
    FontFamily="Segoe UI"
    FontSize="10"/>

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Bind to a List (or any other collection) even if it contains only one item.

public List<CountClass> Q1List {get{...}}

And your binding:

<chartView:BarSeries ItemsSource="{Binding Q1List}" .../>
