[Solved] XAxis Date & Time

[Brett Robichaud]

I have a datasource that includes an undetermined time range. Because of this I need to display both Date & Time in the xAxis labels. I have seen the various posts on including date or time but don't see how I would include both. In my own code I currently can toggle between showing date or time by simply toggling the ValueFormat as seen below. How can I show both?

 

_chart.AutoLayout = true;
_chart.PlotArea.XAxis.IsZeroBased = false;
_chart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.ValueFormat = ChartValueFormat.ShortTime;
_chart.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.RotationAngle = 320;

Hi Brett Robichaud,

In order to display both date and time values, you will need to use two properties - ValueFormat property and CustomFormat property. You need to set the ValueFormat property to a value, indicating that the axis will show DateTime values (e.g. ShortDate, ShortTime, etc.). Then you can set the CustomFormat property with a valid standard or custom DateTime format string, as described here:

Here is an example illustrating this:

RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.ValueFormat = Telerik.Charting.Styles.ChartValueFormat.ShortTime;

RadChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "s";

Hope that helps.

All the best,
