AmCharts in Windows Phone 8.0

Sometimes we need statistical charts to make a good and attractive interface in the application. For that purpose we have amCharts Quick Charts for WPF, Silverlight and Windows Phone. So here is a simple procedure to use these charts.

Step 1

Create an empty project for Windows Phone. After you create it, go to Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console.



Step 2

Then write this statement in the Package Manager Console after "PM>".

PM> Install-Package amChartsQuickCharts



Now you have successfully installed the amCharts references.

Step 3

But you need to provide references like this on the page where you want to add charts.



Pie Chart

Step 4

In the MainPage.xaml, provide this code in the <Grid/> tag.



Step 5

In the MainPage.xaml.cs, create a class outside the public partial class.



Step 6

Now make an Observable Collection<>() inside the public partial class and add these values in it like this.



Step 7

Then make a Loaded event of the page so that a pie chart can be visible on the page loaded event. You can do it like this.



Line Chart

Step 8

Add a new page and add this code to the <Grid/> tag.



Step 9

Now in the code behind, create a test class outside the public partial class.


Step 10

Like a pie chart, also create an Observable Collection <> () and add this code to it.



Step 11

Now in the page loaded event, write this.



Now You are done with charts. Press CTRL+SHIFT+B (Build) and the press F5 (Run the project).

Some results are here.
