Problem Arranging a DateTime X-Axis

[Erwin]

I'm trying to make a scatterchart with values on the y-axis, and dates on the x-axis. De date range can be a few days, but also a few hundred.

Using autoArrange=true, the pointmarks are plotted, but the x-axis is a mess (especially with a big date range). (x-axis.isDate="True")

Using autoArrange=false and setting other x-axis as follows:
this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.MinValue = startDate.ToOADate();
this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.MaxValue = endDate.ToOADate();
this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.Step = ((endDate.ToOADate() - startDate.ToOADate())/20);
this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.LabelStep = 5;
this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.LabelStep = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Round((this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.Step * 2), 0)); 
this.RadScatterChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.StepLabelLevelCount = 2;
I've tried loads of variations of above, with no effect

Now the x-axis is ok, but no pointmarks are plotted at all....

Help needed, too much time wasted already.

Hi Erwin,

Could you elaborate a bit more on the specific issue? What do you mean by "but the x-axis is a mess" when you are using the XAxis.AutoRange = true? It will be best if you can send us a stripped down runnable version of this project where this issue reproduces.

All the best,

Thanks for the response.

What I ment with a mess on the x-axis is that the dates noy always are shown sequentially. For instance: jun 1, jun 5, jun 2, jun 3 ,jun 4.

I have added a scrollbar in the mean time, that works reasonably. Now the axis scaling is ok with zooming. and date range changes.

We have a lot of poblems with radcontrols, especially with the RadChart. After intenal evaluation we will decide what to do with it.
