AJAX Features Now Available
Offering an unparalleled level of interactive abilities in ASP.NET
Charts
If you are looking to impress your end users with advanced, interactive
ASP.NET charts with full AJAX implementation, then Dundas Chart for .NET is what you need.
What is AJAX? AJAX is essentially a development technique that enables
you to refresh a part of a web page without having to refresh the entire
page. This achieves a much cleaner refresh and definitely improves on the
usability of a web page - and can add some nice touches.
With AJAX, Dundas Chart for .NET
has built-in capabilities for you to add toolbars, context menus, property
dialogs, zooming, scrolling, highlighting and much more to ASP.NET charts,
all without using postbacks for a fluid user experience. In addition, you
can write your own methods to handle events on the client-side using our
existing architecture.
Since the interactive features are AJAX based, they are supported across
most browsers.
(Note that the AJAX features are available for
the Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 editions only)

Using AJAX technology, the new web-based User Interface abilities

and feel of charts or insert key data analysis at run-time.
AJAX-Based Server Event Handling
New to the latest versions, Dundas Chart uses powerful AJAX technology to handle client-side events on the server. This allows developers to customize chart behavior on any click or mouseover event, updating data without performing a server refresh. Using AJAX on the chart has many powerful applications. You can add expanding or collapsing behaviors, display new charts depending on the series clicked, hide or show annotations based on end-user clicks, and so much more. Three examples of this new technology are provided below:
Using AJAX, Dundas Chart for .NET gives you real-time
web charts, without any flicker, for a nice clean user experience.
The new AJAX support gives users the ability to interact with the
legend on the Web to update a chart, without posting back to the
server.
The powerful Callback event allows ASP.NET developers to update
data relating to a specific chart element without performing a
server refresh. This eliminates flickering on the page and enhances
the overall chart experience. Use the Callback event to pop-up new
dialogs, add expand/collapse functionality, update chart information
or add your own customized chart functionality.
