How to bind remote data to ASP.NET MVC Chart?

1 min read

Essential ASP.NET MVC Chart supports remote data binding, that is binding data in the server with chart, using DataSource property.

The url from where the data has to be retrieved from, must be assigned to the “URL” property of DataSource object in series. The properties XName and YName of the series should be assigned to the fields in data source representing the x and y values of the series respectively. The property Query of the series should be assigned a string that represents Essential JavaScript query object for querying the data retrieved from remote url. Refer Query for more information about Essential JavaScript query object.

The following code example demonstrates binding Chart to oData service.

CSHTML

    @(Html.EJ().Chart("container")
         .Series(ser =>
         {
               //Binding remote url to chart data source
               ser.DataSource(service => service.URL("http://mvc.syncfusion.com/Services/Northwnd.svc/"));
               ser.XName("ShipCity");
               ser.YName("Freight");
               //Using query object to query the retrieved data in client side
              ser.Query("ej.Query().from('Orders').take(6)").Add();
         })
 )

The output for the above code example binding chart with oData service is as follows.
