QuestionRealtime charts with Microsoft charts control

Aug 12 2010 3:54 AM

Hi Guys.

I am building a project that draw a chart with real time using Microsoft Charts Control . Data source of chart changes every a few seconds to reload data. but i have got a trouble with it. The error is '{"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control...'

I use thread job to start thread every time when checking thread is complete.

 

private void gLoads()
{

jHOSEIDX = new ThreadStart(LoadChart);
tHOSEIDX = new Thread(jHOSEIDX);
GTimer.Interval = 10000; // 10 seconds
GTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(Otherwise);
GTimer.Enabled = true;
}

 

Here is otherwise method.

 

 private void Otherwise(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!(tHOSEIDX.ThreadState.ToString().CompareTo("Running") == 0))
{
jHOSEIDX = new ThreadStart(LoadChart);
tHOSEIDX = new Thread(jHOSEIDX);
tHOSEIDX.Start();

}
}

 

Loadchart is a method reload data and adjust properties of chart.

 

private void LoadChart()
{

VnIndexChart.Titles[0].Text = "VN-Index";

string fileNameString = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"\Data\Data.mdb";

string myConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + fileNameString;

string mySelectQuery = "SELECT TGian,Data.Ngay, Data.ChiSoHTai, Data.ChiSoGLap,Data.KLDuMua FROM Data Order By 1; ";
OleDbConnection myConnection = new OleDbConnection(myConnectionString);
OleDbCommand myCommand = new OleDbCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection);
myConnection.Open();
VnIndexChart.DataSource = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
VnIndexChart.Series["VN-Index"].XValueMember = "TGian";
VnIndexChart.Series["VN-Index"].YValueMembers = "ChiSoHTai";
VnIndexChart.Series["VN-Index"].XValueType = ChartValueType.Time;

VnIndexChart.Series["VN-IDX.ESTIMATE"].XValueMember = "TGian";
VnIndexChart.Series["VN-IDX.ESTIMATE"].XValueType = ChartValueType.Time;
VnIndexChart.Series["VN-IDX.ESTIMATE"].YValueMembers = "ChiSoGLap";

VnIndexChart.Series["Qlity"].XValueMember = "TGian";
VnIndexChart.Series["Qlity"].YAxisType = AxisType.Secondary;
VnIndexChart.Series["Qlity"].XValueType = ChartValueType.Time;
VnIndexChart.Series["Qlity"].YValueMembers = "KLDuMua";
VnIndexChart.DataBind();
UpdateChartSettings();


}
