Quick Question: Is it possible to use .netCharting with MVC by streaming data from a database (using Entity Framework) and generating a PDF (using ABCpdf) by an output stream of the generated chart images/bit-maps? I want to generate the charts on server-side, so I don’t think having an HTML page render the charts would be correct.
Interaction: The user should be be able to submit their data from a form, have it stream to the database, and then when an admin logs in, they can view a list of users, and be able to
click a button, which generates the updated chart PDF of the specific user from the DB.
Where I work we use .netCharting and ABCpdf to produce a lot of documents, generally financial documents with embedded charts, so yes, it is certainly possible. We always use html to generate the pages and this is all done on the server side.
