Webpages Chart for .NET 5 – Asp.net

I need to easily build simple charts. My idea was to use the Microsoft chart class to do so (as they have a very good tutorial on the subject). But this causes problems as I build a MVC webapp using .NET 5.0 and the Nuget package was made for .NET 4.7. I tried to use it anyway, but it caused errors and I want to build everything in the latest stable version of .NET and not go back to an ‘older’ version.

  1. Is there a newer/better version for building charts in .NET 5.0/ASP.NET?
  2. If not, Is there a way to get it to work?

I’m pretty inexperienced in .NET and still learning, hence this probably easy question. Couldn’t find a satisfying answer online.

    It seeems that there’s no version of Microsoft Chart class available for NET 5. Please check this posts:

    You can check DataVisualization as an alternative, as proposed in some of these same threads, but remember it’s still a prerelease version.

    I would go with a JS Chart framework, one that relies on json object to be passed, that way you can call is with an ajax call that returns json, build chart object in the controller check chart.js or c3.js.
