I was able to create a bar chart with one set of bars (series)  and bound it to a DataTable without any problem.  Now my boss wants me to create two series - how do I bind it to a data source?  Do I bind it to a DataSet or bind the DataTables to each series?

Hello Marianne,

If you want to have two BarSeries in RadChartView you can bind each separate seria to a data source by using the DataSource property. Thus, you can bind the BarSeries and add them to the Series collection. A sample example is demonstrated below:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    DataTable table = new DataTable();
    table.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(double));
    table.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
    table.Rows.Add(1, "John");
    table.Rows.Add(3, "Adam");
    table.Rows.Add(5, "Peter");
    table.Rows.Add(12, "Sam");
    table.Rows.Add(6, "Paul");

    BarSeries barSeries = new BarSeries();
    this.radChartView1.Series.Add(barSeries);
    barSeries.DataSource = table;
    barSeries.ValueMember = "Value";
    barSeries.CategoryMember = "Name";

    //barSeries2
    DataTable table2 = new DataTable();
    table2.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(double));
    table2.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));
    table2.Rows.Add(2, "John");
    table2.Rows.Add(8, "Adam");
    table2.Rows.Add(7, "Peter");
    table2.Rows.Add(15, "Sam");
    table2.Rows.Add(20, "Paul");

    BarSeries barSeries2 = new BarSeries();
    this.radChartView1.Series.Add(barSeries2);
    barSeries2.DataSource = table2;
    barSeries2.ValueMember = "Value";
    barSeries2.CategoryMember = "Name";
}

I hope this helps. If you have further questions please let me know.
