Why labels and gridlines doesn't display

[Ales Ruzicka]

In provided source code those things doesn't work and I don't understand why.

<MajorGridLines Visible="true" PenStyle="Dot" Width="1" /> should cause gridline to display, but it doesn't. Unless I set With more than 1 (2 works fine). But I need gridline of with 1.

<TextBlock Text="TestX"> should cause label to be displayed on the side. But it doesn't again. I don't get why.

Whole source:

I tested your code and the grid lines display fine. One thing to note is that the axis labels are not visible by default, so you have to specifically say that you want to display them. The following code rendered the image attached:

ASPX:

<telerik:RadChart runat="server" ID="RadChart1" Skin="Office2007" AutoLayout="true">
      <ChartTitle>
      <TextBlock Visible="false" />

    <Legend>
      <Appearance Position-AlignedPosition="Bottom">

            </Items>
        </telerik:ChartSeries>
    </Series>
  </telerik:RadChart>

Notice that I only set Visible="True" on the axis labels.

I found out that about visibility and I found out that Width at MajorGridLines is float rather than int I expected, so it wors fine with 1.1 and still looks fine.

So i consider this closed. Thank you.
