Is there a Columns.LoadSettings() equivalent for chart series?

[Alex]

Hi,

Currently in KendoUI for MVC, one can load the columns for a KendoGrid by writing this in the view,

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Object>(
    .Name("Some name")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.LoadSettings((IEnumerable<GridColumnSettings>)ViewData["Columns"]);
    })
    // ...
)

where ViewData["columns"] has been set in the controller.

I'm wondering if there is some similar way of loading several series for a KendoChart. I know I could probably accomplish this using javascript and an AJAX call, but I would rather use Razor for as much as I can, and I would like to avoid making too many server calls.

Thanks!
