Using Axis AutoRange on Large Number

[Alan]

I tried to set AutoRange on Y Axis to true and use a large number from 0 to 1E+29 and it crashed when the chart is recalculating the min/max and step.
If I set AutoRange to false and set my own min/max/step value, I won't be able to see the axis value. Is there any suggestion to work around on this issue?
Here is the exception message:

System.OverflowException was unhandled by user code
  Message=Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.

Hi Alan,

Indeed, the behavior which you described may be observed. The control will handle data up to decimal.MaxValue. You can try to lower the order of data before sending it to RadChart.
I hope this suggestion helps.

All the best,
