hey all
im new kendo so id like your opinion

id like to be able to show any of your charts
but in a very dynamic way
ie, if i have a UI area in which i can change params
the chart will respond in kind

would it be best to :
  1.  bring down a full data set in a datasource, have it in mem and just filter thru the data
  2.  refresh the datasource on every param click
  3.  do it some other way you guys have thought of thats way better
thanks!

Hi,

My suggestion is to use the standard chart binding. Just specify a data source instance and the chart will be updated every time the data source view is changed. Changes such as filtering will be applied automatically.

Data binding has its cost, but it provides convenience in return. There's no point in doing it manually unless you're experiencing specific problems.

It might be helpful to turn off transitions too. They can get distracting with dynamic updates.

Kind regards,
