Getting Started with ASP.NET Core SmithChart Control
16 Feb 202424 minutes to read
This section briefly explains about how to include ASP.NET Core SmithChart control in your ASP.NET Core application using Visual Studio.
Prerequisites
System requirements for ASP.NET Core controls
Create ASP.NET Core web application with Razor pages
Install ASP.NET Core package in the application
To add ASP.NET Core controls in the application, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), search for Syncfusion.EJ2.AspNet.Core and then install it. Alternatively, you can utilize the following package manager command to achieve the same.
Install-Package Syncfusion.EJ2.AspNet.Core -Version 27.2.2NOTE
Syncfusion ASP.NET Core controls are available in nuget.org. Refer to NuGet packages topic to learn more about installing NuGet packages in various OS environments. The Syncfusion.EJ2.AspNet.Core NuGet package has dependencies, Newtonsoft.Json for JSON serialization and Syncfusion.Licensing for validating Syncfusion license key.
Add Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Tag Helper
Open ~/Pages/_ViewImports.cshtml file and import the Syncfusion.EJ2 TagHelper.
@addTagHelper *, Syncfusion.EJ2Add script resources
Here, script is referred using CDN inside the <head> of ~/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml file as follows,
<head>
...
<!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET Core controls scripts -->
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.2.2/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>
</head>NOTE
Checkout the Adding Script Reference topic to learn different approaches for adding script references in your ASP.NET Core application.
Register Syncfusion Script Manager
Also, register the script manager <ejs-script> at the end of <body> in the ASP.NET Core application as follows.
<body>
...
<!-- Syncfusion ASP.NET Core Script Manager -->
<ejs-scripts></ejs-scripts>
</body>Add ASP.NET Core SmithChart Control
Now, add the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core SmithChart tag helper in ~/Pages/Index.cshtml page.
<ejs-smithchart id="smithchart">
</ejs-smithchart>Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to run the app. Then, the Syncfusion ASP.NET Core SmithChart control will be rendered in the default web browser.
Add series to Smith chart
The Smith chart has the following two type of specification for adding series:
- dataSource - Data object can be bound directly by specifying the resistance and reactance values.
- points - Collection of resistance and reactance values can be bound directly to render the series.
The following two ways demonstrate adding two series to the Smith chart.
- First series Transmission1 shows dataSource bound series.
- Second series Transmission2 shows points bound series.
