Stacked grouped histogram HighCharts graphs with dynamic data using ASP.NET MVC3? - asp.net-mvc

Question

I'd like to make stacked&grouped histograms using HighCharts and ASP.NET MVC3.
I found this example on HighCharts' site: http://www.highcharts.com/demo/column-stacked-and-grouped
I would use JSonResult in my controller.
In particular, in above example, graph series are pre-defined in javascript, while I would dynamically create them with JSON.

With DonNet.Highcharts you can easily create Highcharts only on the server side. There is example with the stacked and grouped column. Here is the server side code:
Highcharts chart = new Highcharts("chart")
.InitChart(new Chart { DefaultSeriesType = ChartTypes.Column })
.SetTitle(new Title { Text = "Total fruit consumtion, grouped by gender" })
.SetXAxis(new XAxis { Categories = new[] { "Apples", "Oranges", "Pears", "Grapes", "Bananas" } })
.SetYAxis(new YAxis
{
AllowDecimals = false,
Min = 0,
Title = new YAxisTitle { Text = "Number of fruits" }
})
.SetTooltip(new Tooltip { Formatter = "TooltipFormatter" })
.SetPlotOptions(new PlotOptions { Column = new PlotOptionsColumn { Stacking = Stackings.Normal } })
.SetSeries(new[]
{
new Series
{
Name = "John",
Data = new Data(new object[] { 5, 3, 4, 7, 2 }),
Stack = "male"
},
new Series
{
Name = "Joe",
Data = new Data(new object[] { 3, 4, 4, 2, 5 }),
Stack = "male"
},
new Series
{
Name = "Jane",
Data = new Data(new object[] { 2, 5, 6, 2, 1 }),
Stack = "female"
},
new Series
{
Name = "Janet",
Data = new Data(new object[] { 3, 0, 4, 4, 3 }),
Stack = "female"
}
});
You can pass the data as you like.
