How to customize data points for a chart series in WinForms Chart?
This guide explains how to customize data points within a series in Syncfusion® WinForms Chart by replacing the default data model. By default, each series uses an implementation of the IChartSeriesModel interface to manage its data.
To apply a custom data model, use the SeriesModel property of the chart series. This property allows you to assign your own implementation of IChartSeriesModel, enabling greater control over how data points are handled and displayed in the chart.
C#
//Customize data points using IChartSeriesModel Interface
ChartSeries chartSeries = new ChartSeries("Series");
chartSeries.SeriesModel = new NonIndexedModel(new double[] { 2, 5, 3, 4, 6 }, new double[] { 10, 33, 20, 43, 12 });
chartSeries.Style.DisplayText = true;
chartSeries.Style.TextOrientation = ChartTextOrientation.Up;
this.chartControl1.Series.Add(chartSeries);VB
'Customize data points using IChartSeriesModel Interface
ChartSeries1.SeriesModel = New NonIndexedModel(New Double() {2, 5, 3, 4, 6}, New Double() {10, 33, 20, 43, 12})
ChartSeries1.Style.DisplayText = True
ChartSeries1.Style.TextOrientation = ChartTextOrientation.Up
columnChart.Series.Add(ChartSeries1)
