Question

Anyone know where to find the schema for templates used in System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting?

Background info: In object System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart, you can load an XML file that serves as a template for your charts. Here would be a VB call to use it. I am putting this in my question so anyone searching can find the answers here.

Chart1.LoadTemplate(Template.SelectedItem.Value + ".xml")

Link to Microsoft's MSDN article regarding the method: Chart..::.LoadTemplate Method (String)

Extra bonus: do you use templates? Can you point me to online resources that I should know about specific to templating?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I have not found the actual definition of the template XML. Instead, I set the properties of my chart as I needed it and then saved the properties as a template. Once I had the file then I can modify it to make it more like a real template that can be used by other similar chart objects.

OTHER TIPS

I also have not found an actual schema definition but did work out some more of the syntax mostly by trial and error. See this article for more detail http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/MSWinWebChart/thread/b50d5b7e-30e2-4948-af7a-370d9be1268a
