Remarks
Use the static GetDataObject method in the controller to create a model for a Chart extension and pass it to the corresponding view.
The GetDataObject method internally creates a Pivot Grid extension based on the specified settings, binds it to the specified data source, and returns the chart data source generated by that Pivot Grid.
To create a chart data source from OLAP data, use a GetDataObject method overload that accepts an olapConnectionString parameter. When the Pivot Grid uses server mode, use the PivotGridExtension.GetEFDataObject or PivotGridExtension.GetLINQDataObject method, depending on the data provider type.
Note
Use the applyClientState method parameter to apply the Pivot Grid’s client state to a chart data source. If you do not specify this parameter, the client state is ignored during a postback.
You can use the PivotGridSettings.BeforeGetDataObject property to apply custom settings to the PivotGrid before a Chart data source is generated but after the PivotGrid’s callback state is applied.
