In this video we will discuss binding XML file to ASP.NET Chart control



Step 1 : Add an XML file to the project. Name it Students.xml. Copy and paste the following XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Students>
  <Student>
    <ID>1</ID>
    <StudentName>Mark</StudentName>
    <TotalMarks>800</TotalMarks>
  </Student>
  <Student>
    <ID>2</ID>
    <StudentName>Steve</StudentName>
    <TotalMarks>900</TotalMarks>
  </Student>
  <Student>
    <ID>3</ID>
    <StudentName>John</StudentName>
    <TotalMarks>700</TotalMarks>
  </Student>
  <Student>
    <ID>4</ID>
    <StudentName>Mary</StudentName>
    <TotalMarks>900</TotalMarks>
  </Student>
  <Student>
    <ID>5</ID>
    <StudentName>Ben</StudentName>
    <TotalMarks>600</TotalMarks>
  </Student>
</Students>

Step 2 : Drag and Drop a Chart Control on the WebForm.

Step 3 : Copy and paste the following code in the code-behind file.
using System;
using System.Data;

namespace ChartsDemo
{
    public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            // Read the data from XML file into DataSet
            ds.ReadXml(Server.MapPath("~/Students.xml"));
            // Specify the column that contains values for X-AXIS
            Chart1.Series["Series1"].XValueMember = "StudentName";
            // Specify the column that contains values for Y-AXIS
            Chart1.Series["Series1"].YValueMembers = "TotalMarks";
            // Set DataSet as the DataSource for the Chart control
            Chart1.DataSource = ds;
            // Finally call DataBind
            Chart1.DataBind();
        }
    }
}

Step 4 : Run the application. The XML data should be displayed in a column chart as shown below.
