Chart (Obsolete)

I have a chart which is going to show an area chart with one point for each day over a 6 month period. I only want to show an X axis item for each month of the 6 month period. I tried just adding an Item for each new month (ex. RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AddItem("Name of Month")) but then the other set of data doesn't show up (eg. the chart is empty).

If I add one item for every item in my series (one for every day) I end up with a completely unreadable mess at the bottom of the chart. Instead, I tried added a new item, but setting it's text to empty, ex. RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.AddItem(""). That is also unreadable - it fills in the empty values with 0.

Here's what the code basically looks like:

    
            this.radRollingChart.AutoLayout = true; 
        
            this.radRollingChart.AutoTextWrap = true; 
        
            Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries peopleSeries = new Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries("People", Telerik.Charting.ChartSeriesType.Area);                       
        
            this.radRollingChart.Series.Add(peopleSeries); 
        
            peopleSeries.PlotArea.XAxis.AutoScale = false; 
        
            int currentMonth = 0; 
        
            foreach (DataRow row in traffic.Rows) 
        
            { 
        
                DateTime ddate = (DateTime)row["ddate"]; 
        
                if (ddate.Month != currentMonth) 
        
                { 
        
                    string date = ddate.ToString("MMM dd yyyy"); 
        
                    this.radRollingChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddItem(date); 
        
                    currentMonth = ddate.Month; 
        
                } 
        
                else 
        
                    this.radRollingChart.PlotArea.XAxis.AddItem(""); 
        
                peopleSeries.AddItem((int)row["Count"]); 
        
            }

Any thoughts on how I can do this?

Also, is there a way to shut off the value that appears at the top of each data point in the chart (above each "bar")?
