[Solved] Line series displaying incorrectly with DateTimeCategoricalAxis

[Haroon]

I am trying to plot a line series chart with a date time categorical x axis and a linear y axis. The issue is that the lines are connected prior to the date time categorical axis sorting them chronologically. What ends up is that the points are connected they were added, instead of chronological order. 

LineSeries lineSeries = new LineSeries();

Chart.VerticalAxis = new LinearAxis();

 Chart.HorizontalAxis = new DateTimeCategoricalAxis() { PlotMode = AxisPlotMode.OnTicksPadded, DateTimeComponent = DateTimeComponent.Month, LabelFormat = "{0,0:MMM yy}" };

  

 foreach (var data in FormattedData.Values)

   {

     foreach (var key in data)

    {

            CategoricalDataPoint point = new CategoricalDataPoint();

            point.Value = string.IsNullOrEmpty(key.Value.Data) ? 0 : Convert.ToDouble(key.Value.Data);

 

            DateTime outDate;

           if (DateTime.TryParse(key.Key, out outDate))

             point.Category = outDate;

 

            lineSeries.DataPoints.Add(point);

 }
 }
Chart.Series.Add(lineSeries);

Hello Haroon,

Thank you for using RadControls for Wondows 8!

I must admit that this is a bug with the RadChart control when using DateTimeCategoricalAxis - the points are connected in the order they are added to the DataPoints collection. I have forwarded this issue to our devteam for further review. As a workaround for the time being we can suggest you use pre-sorted collection of points.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I have updated your Telerik points by 600 as a token of gratitude.
