Hi..
I use "TeeChart 2.0.3033.18431" in a web application (Steema.TeeChart.Chart). The Datasource is defined for a gannt (X,Y,start,end,nexttask,color). Everything is ok except the color of the gantts. they are always beeing shown in standard colors (~orange & ~red). But wenn I use the same code in a normal windows form (with Steema.TeeChart.TChart) then works everything normal..
Do you have any idea?Thanks...

Hi MU,

This works fine for me here using this code:

Code: Select all

		Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Gantt gantt1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Gantt(WebChart1.Chart);

		gantt1.Add(DateTime.Parse("14/07/2008"), DateTime.Parse("18/07/2008"), 0, System.Drawing.Color.Yellow);
		gantt1.Add(DateTime.Parse("13/07/2008"), DateTime.Parse("15/07/2008"), 1, System.Drawing.Color.Red);
		gantt1.Add(DateTime.Parse("16/07/2008"), DateTime.Parse("19/07/2008"), 2, System.Drawing.Color.Blue);
		gantt1.Add(DateTime.Parse("12/07/2008"), DateTime.Parse("16/07/2008"), 3, System.Drawing.Color.Green);
		gantt1.Add(DateTime.Parse("13/07/2008"), DateTime.Parse("17/07/2008"), 4, System.Drawing.Color.White);
Could you please modify it or send a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here? You could reproduce datasource as in the example Christopher Ireland posted here.

You can either post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Narcis...
I used the ShowSeries.aspx...

Code: Select all

chart= new Chart();
        
            
            /*
            //Datatable
            DataTable table = new DataTable();
            table.Columns.Add("Label", typeof(string));
            table.Columns.Add("Y", typeof(int));
            table.Columns.Add("Next", typeof(int));            
            table.Columns.Add("Start", typeof(DateTime));
            table.Columns.Add("End", typeof(DateTime));            
            table.Columns.Add("ColorTask", typeof(Color));
            */

        
          

            //Add Series to Chart

           
                switch (Request.QueryString["seriestype"])
                {

                    case "Line": chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line());
                        chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Line()); break;
                    case "Bar": chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Bar()); break;
                    case "HorizBar": chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.HorizBar()); break;
                    case "Area": chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Area()); break;
                    case "Point": chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points()); break;
                    case "Surface": chart.Series.Add(new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Surface()); break;
                    case "Gantt":


                        if (Session["ProjectTable"] != null)//datasource
                        {
                            
                            Gantt gannt = new Gantt();                           
                            DataTable table = (DataTable)Session["ProjectTable"];
                            gannt.ColorEach = false;
                            

                            gannt.DataSource = table;

                            gannt.EndValues.DataMember = "End";
                            gannt.EndValues.DateTime = true;

                            gannt.LabelMember = "Label";
                            gannt.NextTasks.DataMember = "Next";

                            gannt.StartValues.DataMember = "Start";
                            gannt.StartValues.DateTime = true;

                            

                            gannt.XValues.DataMember = "Start";
                            gannt.XValues.DateTime = true;

                            gannt.YValues.DataMember = "Y";
                            gannt.ColorMember = "ColorTask";
                            gannt.Title = "Title...";

                            gannt.LinePen.Width = 2;
                            gannt.LinePen.Color = Color.Green;

                            gannt.CheckDataSource();
                            chart.Series.Add(gannt);
                        }
                }
As I said everything is ok except the color (in asp.net).
it works windows for with Steema.Teechart.TChart.

Hi MU,

Have you tried setting ColorEach property to true instead of false as in the code snippet you posted?

Code below works fine for me here:

Code: Select all

	protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		DataTable table = new DataTable();
		table.Columns.Add("Label", typeof(string));
		table.Columns.Add("Y", typeof(int));
		table.Columns.Add("Next", typeof(int));
		table.Columns.Add("Start", typeof(DateTime));
		table.Columns.Add("End", typeof(DateTime));
		table.Columns.Add("ColorTask", typeof(Color));

		DataRow dataRow;

		dataRow = table.NewRow();
		dataRow[0] = "Project 1";
		dataRow[1] = 1;
		dataRow[2] = 2;
		dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("14/07/2008");
		dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("18/07/2008"); ;
		dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
		table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

		dataRow = table.NewRow();
		dataRow[0] = "Project 2";
		dataRow[1] = 2;
		dataRow[2] = 3;
		dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("16/07/2008");
		dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("20/07/2008"); ;
		dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
		table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

		dataRow = table.NewRow();
		dataRow[0] = "Project 3";
		dataRow[1] = 3;
		dataRow[2] = -1;
		dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("23/07/2008");
		dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("30/07/2008"); ;
		dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
		table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

		dataRow = table.NewRow();
		dataRow[0] = "Project 4";
		dataRow[1] = 4;
		dataRow[2] = -1;
		dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("25/07/2008");
		dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("28/07/2008"); ;
		dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
		table.Rows.Add(dataRow); 


		Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Gantt gantt = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Gantt(WebChart1.Chart);
		//gantt.ColorEach = false;

		gantt.DataSource = table;

		gantt.EndValues.DataMember = "End";
		gantt.EndValues.DateTime = true;

		gantt.LabelMember = "Label";
		gantt.NextTasks.DataMember = "Next";

		gantt.StartValues.DataMember = "Start";
		gantt.StartValues.DateTime = true;

		gantt.XValues.DataMember = "Start";
		gantt.XValues.DateTime = true;

		gantt.YValues.DataMember = "Y";
		gantt.ColorMember = "ColorTask";
		gantt.Title = "Title...";

		gantt.LinePen.Width = 2;
		gantt.LinePen.Color = Color.Green;

		gantt.CheckDataSource();
	}

The problem is probably something different. Actually my code and your code are working. but wenn I use the Seesion in order to send the datatable to the Series.aspx page, the colors are not received. I dont know why (The are empty)
Thank you..

Hi MU,

In that case you can try storing and retrieving session variables as in the Zooming example at the live ASP.NET demo.

If this doesn't help please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here.

Thanks in advance.

Hi MU.

As an upgrade, code below works fine for me here. Could you please check if it works fine at your end?

Code: Select all

	protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
	{
		if (Session["ProjectTable"] == null)
		{
			DataTable table = new DataTable();
			table.Columns.Add("Label", typeof(string));
			table.Columns.Add("Y", typeof(int));
			table.Columns.Add("Next", typeof(int));
			table.Columns.Add("Start", typeof(DateTime));
			table.Columns.Add("End", typeof(DateTime));
			table.Columns.Add("ColorTask", typeof(Color));

			DataRow dataRow;

			dataRow = table.NewRow();
			dataRow[0] = "Project 1";
			dataRow[1] = 1;
			dataRow[2] = 2;
			dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("14/07/2008");
			dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("18/07/2008"); ;
			dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
			table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

			dataRow = table.NewRow();
			dataRow[0] = "Project 2";
			dataRow[1] = 2;
			dataRow[2] = 3;
			dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("16/07/2008");
			dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("20/07/2008"); ;
			dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
			table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

			dataRow = table.NewRow();
			dataRow[0] = "Project 3";
			dataRow[1] = 3;
			dataRow[2] = -1;
			dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("23/07/2008");
			dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("30/07/2008"); ;
			dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;
			table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

			dataRow = table.NewRow();
			dataRow[0] = "Project 4";
			dataRow[1] = 4;
			dataRow[2] = -1;
			dataRow[3] = DateTime.Parse("25/07/2008");
			dataRow[4] = DateTime.Parse("28/07/2008"); ;
			dataRow[5] = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
			table.Rows.Add(dataRow);

			Session.Add("ProjectTable", table);
		}

		Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Gantt gantt = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Gantt(WebChart1.Chart);
		//gantt.ColorEach = false;

		DataTable sessionTable = (DataTable)Session["ProjectTable"];
		gantt.DataSource = sessionTable;

		gantt.EndValues.DataMember = "End";
		gantt.EndValues.DateTime = true;

		gantt.LabelMember = "Label";
		gantt.NextTasks.DataMember = "Next";

		gantt.StartValues.DataMember = "Start";
		gantt.StartValues.DateTime = true;

		gantt.XValues.DataMember = "Start";
		gantt.XValues.DateTime = true;

		gantt.YValues.DataMember = "Y";
		gantt.ColorMember = "ColorTask";
		gantt.Title = "Title...";

		gantt.LinePen.Width = 2;
		gantt.LinePen.Color = Color.Green;

		gantt.CheckDataSource();
	}
