Reply To: Assign StripLines via Ajax instead of Hard Code

[Vishwas R]

@tgriffiths,

You can perform AJAX request to fetch stripline values & render chart. Please check the code-snippet below.

/* Index.cshtml.cs */
public JsonResult OnGetStriplineData()
{
	List<StripLine> stripLines = new List<StripLine>();

	DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;
	DateTime sTime = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

	stripLines.Add(new StripLine((long)(currentTime - sTime).TotalMilliseconds, "Label 1"));
	JsonSerializerSettings _jsonSetting = new JsonSerializerSettings() { NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore };

	return new JsonResult(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(stripLines, _jsonSetting));
}

/* Index.cshtml */
$.ajax({
	type: "GET",
	url: "/?handler=StriplineData",
	contentType: "application/json",
	dataType: "json",
	success: function (response) {
		chart.options.axisX.stripLines = JSON.parse(response);
		chart.render();
	},
	failure: function (response) {
		console.log(response);
	}
});

Please take a look at this updated sample project for complete code.
