[Solved] Databound Chart / X axis labels

[Michael Salzlechner]

i use the ItemsSource property to bind a chart to an array of data with 2 series. essentially showing multiple columns for different days and each column has data for the two series.

in this case how can i set the x axis labels to the date ?

thanks

Hello Michael Salzlechner,

You need set up a categorical chart as shown in this online example.

my question was actually if i already have a predefined datasource that does not include the labels for the columns how can i set the column labels without having them in the datasource ?

Hello Michael Salzlechner,

You can handle the AxisX.RangeChange event and manually set the labels as shown below.However, our recommendation is to use categorical chart.

RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.RangeChanged += new EventHandler(AxisX_RangeChanged);
        private void AxisX_RangeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int i = 0;
            foreach (var item in RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.TickPoints)
            {
                item.Label = "Text" + i++;
            }
        }

All the best,
