Can I share logic between JavaScript and WPF versions?

From the user’s perspective, sharing logic between JavaScript and WPF is not possible as its two different libraries and languages, although the APIs are similar. But internally they share the common core written in c++.

Does SciChart support Blazor?

Yes, SciChart supports Blazor. It is possible to use scichart with Blazor, by writing code to interact with scichart using JavaScript (or TypeScript) and then calling it from C# using JsRuntime.InvokeVoidAsync.We recommend viewing our example SciChart.js Blazor Boilerplate. The example also shows the beginnings of the next stage, which is to have wrapper code in C# with which you define your chart, which handles the JavaScript calls internally.

This is an incredible product. First it's the best chart I've had customers compliment how great the charting parts of our application look/behave. I couldn't recommend this product anymore than I already do. SciChart really hit the mark. I wish all software products could be this easy to use and be so productive (not to mention blazing fast).

We have been coding Technical Analysis software for 16 years and during that time have tried most charting modules on the market. SciChart is by far the best, not only for features, speed and reliability, but their support has been above and beyond anything else we’ve experienced.

SciChart is flexible and reliable, just the component we need. We try to tweak the look and feel of the graphs to some extremes, all made possible by SciChart. Support is fast, not just a standard reply but usually a useful answer within a day. For more complex requests they really work with you to get it working.
