Since there is no design view or forms in MVC, you can't just drag and drop the chart where you want it displayed, making it difficult and cumbersome to integrate charts in your MVC projects. The optional Chart FX 8 MVC library contains a few methods that when called at the right place will include all the styles, scripts and routes necessary. All automatically and with minimal input from the developer. And there is no compromise, all Chart FX 8 features and extensions are available just as they are outside of the MVC environment.
