The post walks through 20+ chart types including column, bar, line, area, pie, donut, scatter, bubble, candlestick, OHLC, heatmap, radar, range area, range bar, waterfall, Sankey, stock chart, and trendline. Each chart type is explained with its visual structure and ideal use cases. A decision guide at the end helps developers quickly select the right chart based on their data scenario — comparisons, composition, relationships, ranges, or specialized financial data. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What chart type should I use to show financial price movements in Blazor? Candlestick or OHLC charts are best suited for financial price movements, showing open, close, high, and low values for a period. The Telerik UI for Blazor stock chart component (TelerikStockChart) builds on these types and adds a navigator for selecting specific time periods, making it useful for trading dashboards and investment analysis. _daily.dev surfaces practical Blazor component guidance for developers building financial dashboards._ ### When should I use a donut chart instead of a pie chart in Blazor? Use a donut chart instead of a pie chart when you need to display multiple series rather than just one, since the pie chart only supports a single series while the donut chart's center hole allows multiple series or a highlighted data point to be shown. Both are suited to showing percentage distributions and portions of a whole. _Developers weighing chart options for Blazor apps can find this kind of comparison on daily.dev._ ### What is a Sankey chart used for in Blazor applications? A Sankey chart, implemented in Blazor via the TelerikSankey component, displays entities and links between them, with link thickness representing value, making it ideal for visualizing flows such as traffic distribution, budget breakdowns, or resource redistribution across categories. _daily.dev helps developers evaluating flow-visualization options like Sankey diagrams stay informed._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Getting Started with the Blazor Diagram Component](https://daily.dev/posts/getting-started-with-the-blazor-diagram-component-4aebmzbwr) · Telerik · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [12 Chart Design Tips Every Developer Needs To Know](https://daily.dev/posts/12-chart-design-tips-every-developer-needs-to-know-eaygslcvp) · Syncfusion · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Build Runtime-Configurable Charts in Blazor Using Chart Wizard](https://daily.dev/posts/build-runtime-configurable-charts-in-blazor-using-chart-wizard-5ovxgtwvp) · Syncfusion · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#.net](https://daily.dev/tags/.net), [#data-visualization](https://daily.dev/tags/data-visualization), [#blazor](https://daily.dev/tags/blazor), [#xamarin](https://daily.dev/tags/xamarin) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/choosing-the-right-telerik-ui-for-blazor-chart-jv9ys86ae) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Choosing the Right Telerik UI for Blazor Chart","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/choosing-the-right-telerik-ui-for-blazor-chart-jv9ys86ae","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/choosing-the-right-telerik-ui-for-blazor-chart-jv9ys86ae"},"datePublished":"2026-06-30T17:36:47.194Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:23:43.041Z","description":"A comprehensive guide to all chart types available in Telerik UI for Blazor, covering when and why to use each one.
