• Pure client-side rendering through JavaScript.
• Out of the box binding to all server side data source - SqlDataSource, ObjectDataSource, LinqDataSource, EntityDataSource, etc.
• Binding to DataSet, DataTable, or DataView and any object collection that implements the IListSource, IList, IEnumerable, or ICustomTypeDescriptor interface.
• Various server side events for accessing and modifying the data bound series items
• Client side data binding to JSON via the client side widget API.
• Attractive animation effects
• Easily customizable theming mechanism (setting single Theme property of the chart control)
