title: Microsoft Charting, MVC 3 and Razor
body: <p>Related to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/319835/new-asp-net-charting-controls-will-they-work-with-mvc-eventually#320891">This topic</a> I wonder if anyone has made the Microsoft Charting library working with Asp MVC 3 and Razor.</p>
  
  <p>I know about the new chart helper introduced, but since that is very limited that is not really an option.</p>
  
  <p>To create an action method that returns an image is also easy enough, but since all interactivity breaks down (even just simple tooltips for the bars in a bar chart) this method has several limitations.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.codecapers.com/post/Build-a-Dashboard-With-Microsoft-Chart-Controls.aspx#tb" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This example</a> is probably the most helpful article I have found, but I still cant get a single easy chart working even though it does work when rendering the image only in an action method. Also I have got the samples working fine under .net 4, but obviously those arent MVC samples.</p>
  
  <p>SO - has anyone got Microsoft charting working fully in Asp MVC 3 with Razor and could post a link to a complete solution?</p>
