javascript Highcharts object as a C# class

Question

I've been working with javascript Highcharts and I made a basic 'Chart Builder' app. One of my goals is to have the user create and modify as many options as they like and save those to the db. The main problem I'm having is trying to convert the Highcharts object to a c# class. I've been building it slowly(ie manually) with the parts I need, as I need them, but to eventually get the whole thing converted will take a long time.

Ideally, I'd like to create and setup the whole highcharts options object server side and just send it 100% complete to highcharts

Is there any easy way to do this? Has anyone already done this?

Here is the Highcharts reference page: http://www.highcharts.com/ref/

and this is what I've done so far.

public class Highchart
{
    public title title { get; set; }
    public plotOptions plotOptions { get; set; }
}

public class title
{
    public string text { get; set; }
}

public class plotOptions
{
    public series series { get; set; }
}

public class series
{
    public string stacking { get; set; }
    public string borderColor { get; set; }
    public bool shadow { get; set; }
    public int borderWidth { get; set; }
}

As you can see, I just started ^_^

There is not going to be an option to just convert JavaScript to C#, I'm afraid. — Tejs

Class names should never be lowercase. You are just asking to confuse your future self between fields/variables and classes. — Kirk Woll

Have a look at Highcharts.net at highcharts.codeplex.com, the project has not been updated since Feb 8 and I haven't tried it myself but maybe you could get some inspiration from it — eolsson

Update : The Highcharts .Net library has been updated in December, and is nearly feature complete as per V2.1.9 of the Javascript library.

The .Net library currently has support for multiple axes, point objects, viewstate management after postbacks, click events for points, series etc, and a built in implementation of an AJAX datasource ;) You don't need to write a single line of JS code unless you want to handle click events; you simply code in C#, and the appropriate JS is rendered automatically for you..
