Hello,
As of the Q2 2013 ASP.NET Ajax controls and thus, the (nice) DateTime axis support, the above solution to simulate a 'step' property does not work anymore. I tried the solution above yesterday with an older Telerik version (pre Q2) to only show a date on the x-axis every 7th day. I did this by using categories and setting the labels-in-between to an empty string, just as in your example zip file. That worked nicely.
As of the Q2 update, the DateTime axis (x-axis) sees my date fields (which I add as string, not as DateTime object) as DateTime objects and ignores the empty strings. Instead it prints dates while the y-value is not displayed. If I add, for example, a '-' before the date time value it behaves like before (but, as you may understand, I don't want to add '-' to my dates ;) ). Note: I am using ClientTemplate and a DataTable.
Code behind:
.aspx:
I tried setting the step property on the x-axis, but that also does not work (I know there is a PITS item on this).
Is there any other solution to hide some of the labels?
Or maybe a setting to force the date string not to be seen as a DateTime value, and thus get 'old' behaviour?
Thanks in advance!
