Formatting Axis Labels

[John]

Hi,

The graph i have developed just has numbers from 1 onwars in the x-axis. I want to have strings added to x-axis label. I am generating the chart dynamically.
My COde is like this. I want to have the date in the IDictionary displayed as string in the x-axis.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            IDictionary<DateTime, int> cmcValues = new Dictionary<DateTime, int>();
            cmcValues.Add(DateTime.Today.Date, 115);
            cmcValues.Add(DateTime.Today.AddDays(1).Date, 123);
            cmcValues.Add(DateTime.Today.AddDays(5).Date, 136);
            cmcValues.Add(DateTime.Today.AddDays(23).Date, 143);
            cmcValues.Add(DateTime.Today.AddDays(41).Date, 134);
            BuildChart(cmcValues, "Diabetes", "Bar");
         
        }

      

        private void BuildChart(IDictionary<DateTime, int> CareMeasureValues, string chartName, string chartType)
        {


            RadChart rChart = new RadChart();
          
            double stepDate = CareMeasureValues.ElementAt(1).Key.ToOADate();
            rChart.ChartTitle.TextBlock.Text = "";

           
            ChartSeries cSeries = new ChartSeries();
           
            cSeries.Name = chartName;
            ChartSeriesType csType = new ChartSeriesType();

            foreach (string item in Enum.GetNames(csType.GetType()))
            {
                if (item == chartType)
                {
                    cSeries.Type = (ChartSeriesType) Enum.Parse(csType.GetType(), chartType);
                    break;
                }
            }                       
                       
            ChartSeriesItem csItem;
            ChartAxisItem cAxisItem;
            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Clear();

            foreach (KeyValuePair<DateTime, int> kvp in CareMeasureValues)
            {
                csItem = new ChartSeriesItem();
                csItem.YValue = kvp.Value;


                cAxisItem = new ChartAxisItem();
                cAxisItem.TextBlock.Text = kvp.Key.ToShortDateString();
                cAxisItem.Value = kvp.Value;
                rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Items.Add(cAxisItem);

                cSeries.AddItem(csItem);               
            }
           

            double firstDate = CareMeasureValues.First().Key.AddDays(-1).ToOADate();
            double lastDate = CareMeasureValues.Last().Key.AddDays(1).ToOADate();

            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddRange(CareMeasureValues.Count - (CareMeasureValues.Count - 1), CareMeasureValues.Count, 1); 
                       
           
            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.MajorGridLines.Visible = false;
            rChart.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins = "18%, 24%, 22%, 10%";
            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale = false;
            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle = 45;
            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Top;
            rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.LayoutMode = Telerik.Charting.Styles.ChartAxisLayoutMode.Inside;

            rChart.PlotArea.Appearance.Corners.BottomLeft = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
            rChart.PlotArea.Appearance.Corners.BottomRight = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
            rChart.PlotArea.Appearance.Corners.TopLeft = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
            rChart.PlotArea.Appearance.Corners.TopRight = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
           
            rChart.AddChartSeries(cSeries);


            //HtmlTable table = new HtmlTable();
            //HtmlTableRow tRow = new HtmlTableRow();
            //HtmlTableCell tCell = new HtmlTableCell();
            //tCell.Controls.Add(rChart);
            //tRow.Cells.Add(tCell);
            //table.Rows.Add(tRow);
            placeholder1.Controls.Add(rChart);

        }

My Code worked fine when i removed the Range i had set for the x-axis.
I removed the line:

rChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddRange(CareMeasureValues.Count - (CareMeasureValues.Count - 1), CareMeasureValues.Count, 1); 

Thanks :)
