[英]C# Chart Axis Labels Not Formatting Properly
Assume we have a method call that accesses a remote database, taking approximately 1 second to complete and returning a DataTable
(simulated below): 假设我们有一个访问远程数据库的方法调用,大约需要1秒钟来完成并返回一个DataTable
(在下面模拟):
DataTable GetData()
{
Thread.Sleep(1000); // simulated delay
var dt = new DataTable("DataTable");
dt.Columns.Add("DateTime", typeof(DateTime));
dt.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(double));
var rand = new Random();
var date = new DateTime(2016, 1, 1);
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
dt.Rows.Add(date, rand.NextDouble() * 100);
date = date.AddHours(12);
}
return dt;
}
The DataTable returned from this method is used to populate a Chart
with a single line series. 从此方法返回的DataTable用于使用单个行系列填充Chart
。 Why is it that this code shows correct, properly-formatted DateTime X-Axis labels: 为什么此代码显示正确,格式正确的DateTime X-Axis标签:
async void MainForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var data = GetData();
chart.DataSource = data;
chart.DataBind();
}
and this code shows incorrect, unformatted X-Axis labels? 这段代码显示错误的,未格式化的X轴标签?
async void MainForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var data = await Task.Run(() => GetData());
chart.DataSource = data;
chart.DataBind();
}
Note that removing the Thread.Sleep()
call also fixes this issue, even using the second version. 请注意,即使使用第二个版本,删除Thread.Sleep()
调用也可以解决此问题。
Answer lies in chart.Series[0].XValueType
答案在于chart.Series[0].XValueType
First, couple of statements: 首先,几个陈述:
XValueType
is Auto
by default, and, if it is not specified explicitly, being resolved to specific type somewhere before Paint
event. XValueType
默认为Auto
,如果未明确指定,则在Paint
事件之前解析为特定类型。
It is not something obvious, I found it through decompiling sources; 这不是显而易见的事情,我通过反编译来源找到它; if you do want to follow my research, here are some milestones on the way: 如果你想跟随我的研究,这里有一些里程碑:
Chart
constructor: Chart
构造函数:
this._dataManager.Initialize();
DataManager.Initialize
: DataManager.Initialize
:
chartImage.BeforePaint += ChartPicture_BeforePaint
DataManager.ChartPicture_BeforePaint
DataManager.PrepareData
Series.PrepareData
=> Series.PrepareData
=>
if (this._xValueType == ChartValueType.Auto) { this._xValueType = ChartValueType.Double;
DataBind
will try to resolve Auto
to specific type based on DataSource
. DataBind
将尝试基于DataSource
将Auto
解析为特定类型。 If it is not Auto
, it will not respect data type in DataSource
. 如果它不是 Auto
,则不会尊重DataSource
数据类型。
Ok, so what's happening in your sample: 好的,你的样本中发生了什么:
When you don't use task, whole body of Form_Load
executes synchronously; 当你不使用任务时, Form_Load
整个主体同步执行; when you call DataBind
on chart, it has Auto
for XValueType
and it is resolved to DateTime
based on provide DataSource
. 当您在图表上调用DataBind
时,它具有Auto
for XValueType
并且基于提供DataSource
将其解析为DateTime
。
When you do use task with sleep, Paint
event occurs before you initialize DataSource
, which resolves XValueType
to Double
. 当您使用sleep with sleep时,在初始化DataSource
之前会发生Paint
事件,这XValueType
解析为Double
。 When after that you bind DataSource, it uses float representation of DateTime
. 在此之后,您绑定DataSource,它使用DateTime
浮点表示。
How to fix all that mess? 如何解决所有混乱局面? A lot of ways, but all of them based on chart value type: 有很多方法,但所有方法都基于图表值类型:
Form_Load
在Form_Load
显式指定值类型 DataBind
删除系列并在DataBind
之前添加新系列 DataBind
在DataBind
之前显式指定值类型
