Adding a Web Chart
- 2 minutes to read
This document explains how a chart can be added to your Web application both at design time within Visual Studio, and programmatically.
To learn how a chart can be added to a Web page at design time within Visual Studio, refer to How to: Add a Chart to a Web Application.
Note that after a chart is first added to your web application, its Web.config file is affected. The following module is added to its XML code:
<system.web>
<!-- The following lines will be added to the system.web section. -->
<httpModules>
<add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.v19.2,
Version=19.2.15.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=_"
name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule" />
</httpModules>
</system.web>
<!-- And, the following - to the system.webServer section. -->
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules>
<add type="DevExpress.Web.ASPxHttpHandlerModule, DevExpress.Web.v19.2,
Version=19.2.15.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=_"
name="ASPxHttpHandlerModule" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
To learn more about the ASPxHttpHandlerModule, refer to the following document: ASPxHttpHandlerModule.
To learn how a chart can be created and added to a Web page programmatically, refer to How to: Add a Chart to a Web Page (Runtime Sample)
Alternatively, a Web chart can be created entirely on the client side. A tutorial on this can be found at How to: Add a Chart to an ASPxCallbackPanel during its Callback (Runtime Sample).
