The above code is quite similar to most of the sample codes in this documentation, so it will not be discussed in detail. The main difference is the code for creating the image map.

[ASP.NET Web Forms]WebChartViewer1.ImageMap = c.getHTMLImageMap("clickline.aspx", "", _
    "title='{xLabel}: US$ {value|0}M'");

[ASP.NET MVC (Razor)]viewer.ImageMap = c.getHTMLImageMap(Url.Action("", "clickline"), "",
    "title='{xLabel}: US$ {value|0}M'");

In the line above, the url parameter is set to "clickline.aspx" (ASP.NET Web Forms) or the "clickline" controller (ASP.NET MVC). The query parameter is left empty. When a bar is clicked, the browser will navigate to the url with the default query parameter (see BaseChart.getHTMLImageMap). The query parameters are different for each bar and can be used to determine which bar has been clicked.

In the previous Clickable Bar Chart sample code, when a bar is clicked, "clickline.aspx" (ASP.NET Web Forms) or the "clickline" controller (ASP.NET MVC) will be invoked.

The code for the handler is listed below. It determines which year the user has clicked from query parameters. It then creates a clickable line chart for that year using "clickpie.aspx" (ASP.NET Web Forms) or the "clickpie" controller (ASP.NET MVC) as the click handler. As the code is similar to the Clickable Bar Chart, it will not be explained further.

In the previous Clickable Line Chart sample code, when a line is clicked, "clickpie.aspx" (ASP.NET Web Forms) or the "clickpie" controller (ASP.NET MVC) will be invoked.

The code for the handler is listed below. It determines which year and month the user has clicked from query parameters. It then creates a clickable pie chart for that year and month, using "piestub.aspx" (ASP.NET Web Forms) or the "piestub" controller (ASP.NET MVC) as the click handler. As the code is very similar to the Clickable Bar Chart, it will not be explained further.
