Date on x-axis with 1 month step

[rajesh]

I am trying to plot a chart where datapoint ( x, y ) are as-
(datetime, number)

datetime is always in the format of "01-Month-Year"  i.e.  date part is always first of month
While adding X-axis range I am trying to use-

RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddRange(dtBegin.ToOADate(), dtEnd.ToOADate(), 31);

 

RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.LayoutMode = Telerik.Charting.Styles.ChartAxisLayoutMode.Inside;
RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.ValueFormat = Telerik.Charting.Styles.ChartValueFormat.ShortDate;
RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "dd MMM yyyy";
RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddRange(dtBegin.ToOADate(), dtEnd.ToOADate(), 31);

The problem with above code  is that steps of 31 means that  since not all month has 31 days we will end up with x-axis data point which will not  be in 01-Month-Year format.

what I want on x-axis is like this

How can I add date alone x-axis with steps of 1 month.

Rajesh:

I do not believe it's possible to accomplish x-axis data points to display in the format you require. There's a suggested workaround in the Adding 1 Month Intervals to Chart X-Axis Range forum thread, if you've not already seen it.

Hope this helps.
