Create Custom Chart Web Part in SharePoint 2010

Introduction

In this article I am exploring custom Chart Web Parts in SharePoint.

Reporting is an important part of any project. Sometimes the client requires the display of the records in a visual format.so we need to display records in a visual format like a Chart Web Part or some other.

Creating the sample

For displaying a list record in chart format please use the following procedure.

  1. Create a list with numeral values as in the following:

    Create a list with numeral values
     
  2. Add the following references to your "web.config" file in their respective locations:

    <SafeControls>
    <SafeControl Assembly="System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" Namespace="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
    <system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
            <add path="ChartImg.axd" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false" />
              </httpHandlers>
     <appSettings>
    <add key="ChartImageHandler" value="storage=file;timeout=60;"/>
     <system.webServer>
     <handlers>
    <add name="ChartImageHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" path="ChartImg.axd" type="System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartHttpHandler, System.Web.DataVisualization, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
     
  3. Add the following code in the cs file:
