Hi Eric

Thanks for the reply. Since i wrote yesterday I started to modify the ChartUpdater. I can now read my xml and grab the data that I want and put it in the various string arrays (SeriesNames,CategoryNames, Values) required for a chart. The update of the example charts supplied with PowerTools works well.

I’m now trying to incorporate it into the document i create with document assembler. So what I’ve done is place your sample chart in my template. As far as I can see if just looks for Chart1 tag (need to test that still).

i’m bit confused about the files being copied from “../../” to the Temp folder, and then the updated chart file is created there (from the copy). Why copy to temp and then create another file as well?

I’m also facing an issue where the my data doesn’t always have the same amount of values in each series.

So far so good.

Thanks Eric, I had not seen the latest updates. Download it and will give it a try.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply. I’ve just started to work with C# (or programming actually) so I’ll be honest and say, having looked at your XMLPowerTools, it’s still a bit “next level” for me. For the moment I’m happy to have taught myself enough C# to extract what I need from an SQL database with linq.

Having said that, I learn fairly quickly (with some guidance) so maybe some day in the future I can contribute something useful.

I’ll see if I can figure anything out!

Have a nice day.
