Embed Interactive Insights with Chart Tooltips

June 18, 2026
Provide instant access to detailed, contextual chart data that helps users explore insights, compare values, and make informed decisions.

Chart tooltips in a charting component are interactive elements that display additional information about data points when users hover over or interact with a chart. They help software developers enhance data visualizations by providing detailed values, contextual insights, and comparisons on demand without cluttering the chart itself, improving usability, supporting more effective data analysis, and creating a more engaging user experience.

Several React chart controls offer tooltip support including:

  • DevExtreme React Chart lets you display detailed data point information on hover, improving analysis, comparisons, and chart usability without visual clutter.
  • KendoReact Charts allows you to surface contextual values and insights through customizable tooltips that enhance data exploration and user engagement.
  • AnyChart JS facilitates interactive data analysis by presenting precise chart information on demand, helping users interpret trends efficiently.
  • Syncfusion React Charts lets you reveal rich data details through configurable tooltips, enabling clearer visualizations and more informed decision making.

Refresh Grid Data Automatically in .NET

June 16, 2026
Keep grids synchronized with changing data through dynamic updates, without requiring users to manually refresh the view.

Dynamic updates, also known as live data rendering, enable a data grid to automatically refresh displayed information when the underlying data source changes, without requiring manual intervention, a full-page reload, or a complete grid refresh. This helps users work with current data while maintaining their position and context within the grid. Depending on the implementation, dynamic updates can refresh only affected records or cells, reducing unnecessary rendering, improving responsiveness, and limiting avoidable data transfer. This capability is especially valuable in applications where timely visibility of changing information is important, such as financial dashboards, operational monitoring systems, and inventory management solutions.

Several .NET components provide data grids that allow dynamic updates, including:

  • DevExpress ASP.NET MVC Data Grid (part of DevExpress ASP.NET and Blazor) supports dynamic updates through technologies such as SignalR, allowing data changes to be reflected in the grid without requiring a full page refresh.
  • ComponentOne WPF FlexGrid (part of ComponentOne Studio WPF by MESCIUS) supports dynamic updates, enabling changes in bound data to be reflected in the grid without requiring a full data reload, while virtualization helps maintain performance.
  • Telerik UI Blazor Data Grid (part of Telerik UI for Blazor) supports dynamic updates through data binding and rebinding capabilities, allowing updated data to be reflected in the grid without requiring a page reload.
  • Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms Grid (part of Infragistics Ultimate UI for Windows Forms) supports dynamic updates through data binding, allowing displayed records to be refreshed and synchronized with underlying data source changes at runtime.
