highcharts with mvc C# and sql

Have checked and rechecked for about 2 days (ug) and cannot find any guide, source, reference or documentation on using Highcharts in an MVC4/5 C# model that shows how to set up the controller / model to pull data from a SQL database.

I have this sample working -- static data typed into the controller. http://www.nimbo.com/blog/how-to-use-highcharts-js-with-asp-net-mvc-4/

All the samples (from Highcharts and the ports available via nuget) use static data. Can't find anything that shows a step-by-step for setting up the data connection and pulling in the data so it shows up in a chart. It may exist and I can't find it.

I have a db set up. Other pages are connected to the db and working -- full read/write.

But the basic chart setup has me stumped. One good example (with comments/instructions) of how to set up the connection, retrieve data, and set up an array(s) would be so very helpful.

You need to preapre script which i.e return data as json, then in javascript use $.getJSON() function and get your data. Last step is use your data in highcharts.

This is an old question, but I am looking for exactly the same thing. I just came across dotnet.highcharts. You can find the code here http://dotnethighcharts.codeplex.com. Perhaps this will work for you as well.
