How to put Negative sign at the end of a label for an axis of a chart view control

[Sailaja]

HI,
i am new to telerik chart view control.
I want to display the negative sign at the end of a lable for an axis.
For Ex:if the label value is: -10 it has to show 10- instead of -10.
Can any one help me out of this problem..
thanks.

Hi Sailaja,

You can set a data template for the X axis label and use a converter to swap the place of the sign:

<telerik:RadCartesianChart>
 <telerik:RadCartesianChart.VerticalAxis>
  <telerik:LinearAxis>
   <telerik:LinearAxis.LabelTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
     <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource ReverseSignConverter}}" />

And in the converter you need to do something like this:

public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
 string stringValue = (string)value;
 double doubleValue = Double.Parse(stringValue);
 string result;

 if (doubleValue >= 0)
  result = doubleValue.ToString();
 else
  result = (-doubleValue).ToString() + "-";

 return result;
}
