CartesianPlotBandAnnotation and CategoricalAxis fill problem

Hi,
By defaut CartesianPlotBandAnnotation draw the annotation from -> to plot value

I have a RadCartesianChart using a BarSeries and CategoricalAxis as HorizontalAxis. The categories represent hours (in 24 hours format) : 0 1 2 3 ... 23

If settings CartesianPlotBandAnnotation with parameters From : 6 and To : 23 the annotation starts at the middle of the 6 hour bar et 23 hour bar.

I'm searching a solution to force CartesianPlotBandAnnotation to fill 6 and 23 hours bar drawing zone.

Thanks a lot ! :)

Scrolling performance clunky

I am trying to use the grid with about 10 columns and 1000 rows. I am bound to an Observable collection for this, though in production I'd like to move to an IQueryable binding with paging via the datapager. Autogenerated columns are a requirement as well as the user being able to resize/move columns. In production, we will have anywhere from 5 to 120 columns with 1000 rows and hopefully paging. All rows are read only and the user cannot add/remove rows or edit any cells. When clicking the scroll handle and dragging with the mouse, the scroll behavior is very very jumpy instead of being smooth. If you scroll VERY slowly, then it's mostly smooth, but still not quite where it should be. Even horizontal scrolling with 2 or 3 columns off the side is clunkier than it should be. All of the demos I've seen have very smooth scrolling and that behavior is very desirable. I have read the degraded performance articles and have put sizes on the grid row containing the radgridview so that it does not size to "infinity". Please point me in the right direction to get smooth performance. Below is my View, ViewModel and Model being represented.

Thank you in advance,
Mark
