Using Google Charts as an Alternative to the Built-in Chart Controls

Description

The UX component contains a powerful built-in chart control (based on the Microsoft .Net visualization library). This is a 'server-side' control (meaning that the chart is rendered on the server and then the resulting image is sent to the browser.

However, there may be times when you want 'client-side' charting (i.e. charts that are rendered using Javascript). The Google Chart API is perfect for this. (Note: There are number of high quality open source Javascript libraries that you can choose from).

In this video we show how you can use the Google Chart API to add client-side charts to a UX component.
