Use Visifire Silverlight Control on an UpdatePanel

Visifire have some nice open source chart controls for Silverlight:

They are easy to set up and run, but very difficult to manipulate since all the code used to set it up is in a javascript file (and I don’t have time to work it all out)

All I wanted it to do was put the control on an UpdatePanel, and refresh its datasource on a Client CallBack.

Luckially one guy called Reyza ( and according to google only one) has worked this out in Indonesian:

( What are the chances? I actually just went to Jakarta    )

Add the following code DIRECTLY after your UpdatePanel like this:

</asp:UpdatePanel>

<script type =”text/javascript”>

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest( endRequest ); 

function endRequest( sender, e )

{ 

var vChart = new Visifire(“Visifire.xap”, 500, 300);

 vChart.setLogLevel(1);

vChart.setDataXml(chartXmlString);

vChart.render( “VisifireChart”);

 }

</script>

 

Basically it just builds it again after an update.
