Create a sales dashboard in asp.net and MVC applications using the Shieldui chart control

In this article, we'll deal with a common data visualization task, which is to create a sales dashboard (dashboard). Sales dashboards are often used in business demonstrations to showcase key performance metrics for a business process or business goal, and the key to completing such a presentation is not only a good visual presentation of the data, but also a pleasing look. To do this, I use the related Chart Component, which provides all the required functionality. This example will use the chart components in Shieldui, which can be downloaded from the site free of charge.

After the completion of the display, see the following figure:

<%@ Register assembly= "Shield.Web.UI"  
     namespace= "Shield.Web.UI" tagprefix= "Shield" 

%>
