  • Data Binding: Server-Side and Client-Side

    Use just a few properties to bind the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart to the data source that suits your project best, be it a declarative ASP.NET DataSource control, such as SqlDataSourceLinqDataSource, EntityDataSourceXmlDataSource, etc., or programmatically on demand to DataSet, DataTable, or any other custom object. Show additional fields in the tooltips or labels by defining your own client template.

    You can also use a JSON string or an array of JSON objects to change the datasource of the control on the client.

  • Printing and Exporting

    Have your browser print only the chart, not the whole page. Leverage InkScape, an open source SVG editor, to export the visualized data.
  • Ease of Use Thanks to Intuitive Markup Structure

    The Telerik Charting component for ASP.NET AJAX is designed with ease of use in mind. The markup structure closely resembles the actual structure of a chart to make it more comfortable. Detailed customization is usually done with inner tags, which enables better feature separation instead of flooding one tag with a myriad of properties.

  • Rich Server-Side API

    Easily modify every aspect of the chart configuration, including colors, sizing, animations, etc. The intuitive server-side API of the Telerik Chart allows you to easily create the chart programmatically. This makes the control easily adaptable to a myriad of scenarios.
  • User Interactions with Animations and Highlighting

    RadHtmlChart features built-in animations for smoother user experience and highlighting on hover for an enhanced data presentation and ease of use. Hovering over a series name in the legend highlights the entire series in the chart, while clicking on it toggles its visibility, so users can concentrate on important data.
  • Easy-to-Customize Appearance and Alignment

    You can either use the automatic axis setup and layout adjustment to have the Telerik ASP.NET AJAX Chart decide how to best position its elements or take advantage of the built-in customization options for the axes, labels, tooltips, title, legend, etc. and quickly alter the alignment and appearance yourself.

    You can also take advantage of the exposed color properties and set conditional formatting to your chart series.

  • Client-Side Events for Maximum Flexibility

    Respond to user actions or build upon the core chart functionality by handling the client-side events triggered upon hovers and clicks on the series. Use the exposed arguments to implement custom features, such as drill-down.
  • Visual Studio Integration and Design-Time Support

    Install Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX, the suite containing RadHtmlChart, to get the control available in your Visual Studio Toolbox. Drag and drop it onto the design surface and use the SmartTag, the Properties Window or the Design-Time wizards to codelessly configure the control and make it fully functional.
  • ASP.NET AJAX Chart Mobile Support

    Why should you build a mobile version of your application when the same app can work equally well on mobile and desktop devices? Thanks to its modern rendering, RadHtmlChart works across all devices and handles touch events in the same manner as those triggered by a keyboard or a mouse.

  • Cross-Browser Support

    When using the control in your apps, rest assured it behaves as expected and has a consistent look and feel in all browsers used.

  • Client-Side Rendering for Better Performance

    ASP.NET AJAX Chart is rendered entirely through JavaScript, thus reducing the amount of work performed on the server. Instead of rendering the entire image on the server and sending its markup to the client, the engine sends only the serialized data, which ultimately boosts the performance of your application. The control is powered by Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), allowing animations and interactivity in modern browsers with a fallback to Vector Markup Language (VML) for older browsers.
