My data source for the charts is a collection of objects, I have set up the data mapping and called databind to setup the data points.
On 'clicking' a data point I need access to the data source the item is bound to and as far as I can tell this isnt possible. Is it possible to attatch a reference to the underlying object in each datapoint?
There is an event on the chart called DataItemMouseLeftButtonDown which should help you here. The method to obtain the source item varies a bit per chart, you can see this post and its replies for some variants: https://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/f/retired-products-and-controls/36069/how-to-get-the-datapoint-value-in-line-splinearea-doughnut-charts
If you can tell me wchich chart type you are dealing with I can provide you some further advice.

Thanks for the fast response. This allows me to get the data point I am bound to, but how do I obtain the object that produced this binding? Its very straight forward to do this using the control toolkit charts. Heres how I am binding the series (on clicking a node I need to get my cell object so I can use the meta data to build a drill down query):
s.DataSource = dataSource.RowCellCollection as IEnumerable; s.Label = dataSource.SeriesItem.Caption; /* Setup the bindings configured in the attached properties */ s.DataMapping = String.Format("Value={0};Label={1};", DependentValueBinding, "Caption"); // noticed that binding can't deal with x.y properties so had to add property to rowcell class to access cell meta data s.DataBind();
