    Hi all, 

    can someone please assist, or direct me to a working example 

    I am using RADChart in an ASP.NET page, as a horizontal Gannt chart
    along the bottom axis i would like lables that appear as follows
    APR        MAY
    09            09


    Telerik.Charting.ChartAxisItem cai = new Telerik.Charting.ChartAxisItem();  
    // add 15 days so that label appears in middle of month  
    cai.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(thisDate.AddDays(15).ToOADate());  
    // create text for label  
    cai.TextBlock.Text = thisDate.ToString("MMM yy");  
    // attempt to force linefeed in label - also tried char(10)  
    cai.TextBlock.Text = cai.TextBlock.Text.Replace(' ', Convert.ToChar(13));  
    // set autowrap on - in desperation !!  
    cai.TextBlock.Appearance.AutoTextWrap = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AutoTextWrap.True;  
    // set label alignment to center  
    cai.TextBlock.Appearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Center;  
    // add label to Axis objects  
    radChart.PlotArea.YAxis.Items.Add(cai); 

    unfortunately - Labels Still appear as APR 09      May 09     .....
    Any ideas - suggestions gratefully accepted

    Hi Rob,

    You can achieve the desired functionality like this:

    cai.TextBlock.Text = thisDate.ToString("MMM\nyy");  


    Hope this helps.

    Hello Rob,

    We assume you have pasted direct link to the chart image, however the cache expires after a certain period of time and the image url is no longer valid and cannot be opened -- we would suggest you to either send us a runnable sample application or modify our sample application (attached to this thread) so we can reproduce the problem locally and advise you how to proceed.

    Looking forward to your reply.
