How It Works
.netCHARTING seamlessly handles the complexity of Silverlight deployment, plug-in detection and down-level support so you don't have to. Developers are able to deploy one of the most advanced and innovative Silverlight solutions available utilizing a simple server side API which is already familiar to them. Developers with more advanced requirements are able to access the client side JavaScript API to provide further interactivity between the page and the embedded control. The .netCHARTING Silverlight Navigator is an extremely refined implementation which includes custom UI controls for range selection, automatic transfer of highly compressed data packages client to server and leverages the .netCHARTING data engine to further minimize development on the server side.
