在這個示例中，將會介紹如何在同樣的頁面中創(chuàng)建多個圖表，而圖表里面的數據將會來自同一個數據查詢。值得注意的是，盡管數據庫的示例代碼是網頁的ASP.NET語言，但是這個技術依然適用于Windows Forms應用程序。

具體的代碼如下：

上面的代碼包含了兩種方法用于生成圖表，并將圖表放入 WebChartViewer 對象，圖表的數據作為參數傳遞。

VB

Private Sub createChart1(viewer As WebChartViewer, selectedYear As String, _
    software As Double(), hardware As Double(), services As Double())

Private Sub createChart2(viewer As WebChartViewer, selectedYear As String, _
    software As Double(), hardware As Double(), services As Double())
C#

private void createChart1(WebChartViewer viewer, string selectedYear,
    double[] software, double[] hardware, double[] services)

private void createChart2(WebChartViewer viewer, string selectedYear,
    double[] software, double[] hardware, double[] services)

在 Page_Load 方法內的代碼，創(chuàng)建了一個到數據庫的連接，然后將查詢發(fā)送到數據庫，查詢的結果將會讀入到DBTable對象。

在此示例中，數據被傳遞給這兩個圖表生成方法來創(chuàng)建兩個圖表。

VB

 Dim table As DBTable = new DBTable(sqlCmd.ExecuteReader())
    dbconn.Close()

    Dim software As Double() = table.getCol(0)
    Dim hardware As Double() = table.getCol(1)
    Dim services As Double() = table.getCol(2)

    createChart1(WebChartViewer1, yearSelect.SelectedItem.Value, software, _
     hardware, services)
    createChart2(WebChartViewer2, yearSelect.SelectedItem.Value, software, _
     hardware, services)

C#

DBTable table = new DBTable(sqlCmd.ExecuteReader());
    dbconn.Close();

    double[] software = table.getCol(0);
    double[] hardware = table.getCol(1);
    double[] services = table.getCol(2);

    createChart1(WebChartViewer1, yearSelect.SelectedItem.Value, software,
        hardware, services);
    createChart2(WebChartViewer2, yearSelect.SelectedItem.Value, software,
        hardware, services);
