[Solved] Remove Gradient and format datetime in MVC chart.

[Sushim]

I have two questions,
1. In asp.net mvc column chart, i would like to remove the gradient which can i have highlighted in the image. I have not been able to remove it. How do I remove the glossy hover.

2. Another question, how do I format a date string in category axis where SEVDateStr is a datetime format and this comes from the database as 2012-03-03, I tried using the labels format but this doesn't work.

.CategoryAxis(axis => axis
                            .Categories(s => s.SEVDateStr)
                //.Labels(labels => labels.Format("{yyyy/mm/dd}"))
                .AxisCrossingValue(0, 100)
            )


Thank You.

Can anyone help me with the gradient, I do not want any shadow when I hover my mouse over the bar chart. How do I remove this? Please reply.

looking for similar info.
I expected setting .Overlay(ChartBarSeriesOverlay.None) to each series would give a flat bar colour, but no dice.

Hi,

I can confirm that the Overlay setting is not functioning as expected. We'll fix the problem right away and the fix will be available in the upcoming internal builds. Apologies for the caused inconvenience.
