Dynamic chart data binding / date value

[Tommy]

Hi,

I'm just starting with the RadChart and this maybe is a simple question.
I have a data table with a value column and a column where a date value is in.

What I want is, that the value (like 1,2,3...) is displayed on the YAxis and the date value as label on the XAxis. And all this from code behind.
But somehow, I didn't get it.
The XAxis only shows "31.12.1899, 01.01.1900, ...." but there should be "24.03.2009, 25.03.2009, ...."

Maybe someone can help me. Thank you.

Hello Tommy,

In order to display Date Values, you should first convert them to their OLE Automation equivalents using ToOADate(). Additionally to format XAxis labels, you should set value to
RadChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.ValueFormat property. You can find an attached sample page illustrating how to achieve this.                           

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Hi Dessy,

thank you for your answer. I found the solution.
My problem was that I forgot to set RADCHART.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale = False.
