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)

Dundas Chart for .NET AJAX Features Released May 29th, 2005

Web based Zooming and Scrolling

Get the functionality of a desktop app on the web with the new zooming and scrolling capabilities of Dundas Chart for .NET.  Using AJAX technology, the latest release lets users zoom in and scroll large sets of data, making it much easier to navigate and understand.

Web Based User Interface

Using AJAX technology, the new web-based User Interface abilities are both lightweight and powerful. Provide your end users with toolbars, context menus and property dialogs to manipulate the look 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:

Real Time Web Charts

Using AJAX, Dundas Chart for .NET gives you real-time web charts, without any flicker, for a nice clean user experience.

Interactive Legends

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.

Callback Events

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.
