RadChart with multiple series in single X axis column

[lekha]

Hi all,
I have to display year in X axis . For each year there is more than 2 series(company names) and for each company their Appraisal in y Axis.
How can i implement multiple series.I tried "RadChart1.DataGroupColumn " But more than 2 companies not listing for each year..

Eg: Year: 2009 -------Comp:comp1,comp2,comp3---- Appraisal: comp1-->2,comp2-->5,comp3-->8
And for year 2010 ------Comp:comp1---- Appraisal: comp1-->2
etc...

Please reply,,,

I am so sorry I should have specified about the requirement clearly while posting. It should be using Radchart for Silverlight not Ajax and it uses MVVM pattern.
How can I change the values of Y axis specific to the collection value. I mean I am not sure about the range of values that should get displayed it would be different with different input values?

[Jittu]

How can I start the Yaxis frm zero itself?
and I should automaticaly include intervals according to the value.

Hi Jittu,

In order to start your Y axis from 0, you will need to manually specify its range like this for example:

radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.AutoRange = false;
radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.MinValue = 0;
radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.MaxValue = 100;
radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.Step = 25;

Note that the AutoRange should be disabled first.

More about customizing the axis can be found here:

As you are also new to our controls and you intend to use the Silverlight's RadChart, I would suggest you to take a look at the newer RadChartView control as well.

Hope this helps.
