Setting the Chart theme from the controller

[AP]

I've got a chart, which I want to be able to dynamically set the theme for - based upon a value set in a ViewBag variable.

I can do this if the chart is defined in JavaScript, however I can't seem to set it when the chart is defined using the helper.

i.e.:-

@(Html.Kendo().Chart<CMS_2013.Models.Temp_Data_Summary>()

      .Name("Chart")

      .Legend(false)

      .Title("Data in Temporary Pricing Table")

      .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource

          .Read(read => read.Action("GetSummaryChartData", "Pricing"))          

      )

      .Series(series => {

          series.Column(d => d.Records).Tooltip(true) ;

          

      })

      .CategoryAxis(axis => axis

          .Categories(model => model.Class)

      )

       

      .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:350px; height:250px;"})

)

If I do:-

.Theme(ViewBag.SelectedTheme) - the page returns an error.  How can I do this?

Hello,

Although the ViewBag is dynamic, an explicit cast will still be needed in this scenario e.g.

.Theme((string)ViewBag.SelectedTheme)

Thanks, I did try ToString() , but not (string).

It's working well now.
