Getting Started with the .NET MAUI Chart

This guide provides the information you need to start using the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Chart by adding the control to your project.

At the end, you will achieve the following result.

Prerequisites

Before adding the Chart, you need to:

1. [Set up your .NET MAUI application]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-1-set-up-your-net-maui-application).

2. [Download Telerik UI for .NET MAUI]({% slug maui-getting-started %}#step-2-download-telerik-ui-for-net-maui).

3. [Install Telerik UI for .NET MAUI]({%slug maui-getting-started %}#step-3-install-telerik-ui-for-net-maui).

Define the Control

**1.**When your .NET MAUI application is set up, you are ready to add a Chart control to your page.

var chart = new RadCartesianChart
{
	HorizontalAxis = new CategoricalAxis(),
	VerticalAxis = new NumericalAxis(),
	BindingContext = new ViewModel()
};

var series = new BarSeries();

series.SetBinding(ChartSeries.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding("Data"));

series.ValueBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding { PropertyName = "Value" };
series.CategoryBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding { PropertyName = "Category" };

chart.Series.Add(series);

**2.**Add the following namespace:

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.Chart;

3. Register the Telerik controls through the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik extension method called inside the CreateMauiApp method of the MauiProgram.cs file of your project:

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		builder
			.UseTelerik()
			.UseMauiApp<App>()
			.ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
			{
				fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
			});

		return builder.Build();
	}
}
