Example

This example demonstrates how to use the Callback event to explode a pie slice when that slice is clicked.  We assume a chart has been added at design-time.
Visual Basic Copy Code
Imports Dundas.Charting.WebControl
...

 ' Page Load event handler.
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
   ' We add points to the chart only when the page is first rendered
   If Not IsPostBack Then
      Chart1.Series(0).Points.Clear()
      Chart1.Series(0).Points.AddXY(1, 4)
      Chart1.Series(0).Points.AddXY(2, 5)
      Chart1.Series(0).Points.AddXY(3, 2)
      Chart1.Series(0).Points.AddXY(4, 1)
   End If

   ' Use GetCallbackEventReference method to create Javascript.
   ' We use chart keyword #INDEX as a parameter for the Callback event.
   Chart1.Series(0).MapAreaAttributes = "onclick=""" +
   Chart1.CallbackManager.GetCallbackEventReference("PieClick", "#INDEX") + """"
End Sub


' Chart Callback event handler.
Protected Sub Chart1_Callback(sender As Object, e As CommandEventArgs)

   If e.CommandName = "PieClick" Then
      ' Reset pie chart so that no pie slices are exploded.
      Dim point As DataPoint
      For Each point In Chart1.Series(0).Points
         point("Exploded") = "False"
      Next point
      ' Explode the correct pie slice.
      Dim index As Integer = Integer.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString())
      Chart1.Series(0).Points(index)("Exploded") = "True"
   End If
End Sub


C# Copy Code
using Dundas.Charting.WebControl
...

// Page Load event handler.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   
// We add points to the chart only when the page is first rendered.
   
if (!IsPostBack)
   {
       Chart1.Series[0].Points.Clear();
       Chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(1, 4);
       Chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(2, 5);
       Chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(3, 2);
       Chart1.Series[0].Points.AddXY(4, 1);
   }

       
// Use GetCallbackEventReference method to create Javascript.
       
// We use chart keyword #INDEX as a parameter for the Callback event.        
       
Chart1.Series[0].MapAreaAttributes = "onclick=\"" +
          Chart1.CallbackManager.GetCallbackEventReference(
"PieClick", "#INDEX") + "\"";
}

// Chart Callback event handler.
protected void Chart1_Callback(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{

   
if (e.CommandName == "PieClick")
   {
       
// Reset pie chart so that no pie slices are exploded.
       
foreach (DataPoint point in Chart1.Series[0].Points)
               point[
"Exploded"] = "False";        
       
       
// Explode the correct pie slice.
       
int index = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());        
       Chart1.Series[0].Points[index][
"Exploded"] = "True";
   }
}
