Syncfusion Essential Chart is a business-oriented charting component which offers an innovative data object model that makes it easy to populate a chart with any kind of data source. Syncfusion Essential Chart features an advanced styles architecture that simplifies complex multilevel formatting. It can handle data in different ways. You can add data points to a series and let the chart manage them. Alternatively, you can achieve easier data binding to a data set using the built-in ChartDataBindModel control, and you can specify column names containing the x- and y-coordinate values. For additional flexibility, you can implement the IChartSeriesModel interface and plug-in a custom model. Syncfusion Essential Chart includes components for Windows Forms, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight and WPF platforms.
Syncfusion Essential Chart is also available as part of Syncfusion Essential Studio User Interface Edition and Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise.
