I've been stuggling for a moment and I'm unable to find anything related to that. I'm a total newbie with Kendo, and sadly I was not able to find anything that could help my question, documentation, forums and all of that : **they haven't helped at all**.

Situation :
I have a viewmodel in my ASP .NET app. I'm trying to make a chart out of one of the proripeties called "Type". This propriety represent a type of data - let's say fruits, like "Banana", "Apple" etc.
This type contains only and only one type at the time. It cannot contain something like "Apple and bananas". It's always a string, too.
This proriety is part of a larger model. **But I'm only interested in this one**.

Now, what I like to do :
I'd like to make a chart, using Kendo, from that propriety.
That means, I have to bind my chart to my model, and then, it will be able to know how many time some of those Types were used.
Like, **example**, If I have three objects :
Name : "Mjuzl"
Type : "Potato"

Name : "Uijqf"
Type : "Apple"

Name : "Zjli"
Type : Potato"

I'd like my char to count that my model used the type Potato twice, and the type Apple once.
**I know how to get my datasource that contain all of the objects that use my model**. (I have already used Kendo Grid just before but it's so simplier tbh) My issue right now, is that I have no idea - and I wasnt' able to find any - how to actually display what I want in my chart. I say it again, they are strings. I know how to get my datasource. I don't know how to actually show what I want to show. (Should I use columns ? sections ? I don't know)

Do I need to build a JSON from my controller that will ask the database to count ? Does Kendo is able to do it by it's own ? I'm so lost, I have no idea what Kendo is actually waiting for to make my chart working. The documentation isn't helping at all. I've been researching for a while, I haven't found anything that describes the exact same problem. And I've been searching for days.
Very badly drawn image I've done to put a picture on my problem :

I don't ask to do it for me, **I ask for a path. A way to do it.**
Thanks.
