Loading Data From a URL

Instead of using the Load method to specify the location of a data file, you can specify a URL where the chart can find the data. ComponentOne Chart provides two different methods to load data from the Internet:

·      Use the Chart2D Object's LoadURL method to load a chart description file (.OC2).

·      Use the Chart2DData Object's LoadURL method to load a data file (.DAT) into an existing chart.

In addition, if you want to set a URL location but do not want to load the data, use the Chart2DData Object's Datapath property. This property can be set at design time, and used to initialize the chart data at run-time.
