Kendo line chart

[Suk]

Hello,
I have a kendo grid and below it is a kendo line chart.

Based on the grid I need to build the chart as they are inter- related.(and made from the same data)

So, can I use the same controller method for both??

.Read(read => read.Action("GetResults", "home").Data("GetInputData"))

My controller method (basically first made for grid),

 public ActionResult GetFuturePrices([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request, String Name, String Address)
        {
            List<Details> DetailsList = new List<Details>();
            //something something...
            return Json(DetailsList .ToDataSourceResult(request), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);         
        }

Hello,

By default the DataSources of the Chart and the Grid MVC wrappers expect a different response. The Grid DataSource expects a DataSourceResult and the Chart DataSource expects the collection to be returned directly. It is possible however to use the same action to load the data by using the Custom builder for the Chart DataSource to specify that the data should be loaded from a field with named "Data" e.g.

Html.Kendo().Chart<MyModel>()
    .DataSource(dataSource=> dataSource
        .Custom()
        .Schema(schema => schema
            .Data("Data")
        )
        .Transport(transport => transport
            .Read(read => read.Action("GetResults", "home").Data("GetInputData").Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
        )
    )

Thank you for your response... I understood the difference between the responses for grid and chart...
So, I had to create two different controller methods, one passing with `ToDataSourceResult()` for grid and for chart just passing the list (collection)... And its working fine...Problem solved...

But still, I am unclear about the `.Data("Data")` part... Could you please kindly elaborate...
