You guys seriously need a DateTimeToDoubleConverter

[Schneider]

You have plenty of converters in your package... but no DateTimeToDoubleConverter??

Even though this is essential for your charts because it uses doubles for the date axis?

[Schneider]

Turns out that binding the axis min/max/step values dont work anyway (they should)... perhaps thats there is no converter...

Also I like the way that no data is displayed unless you specify a step... good way to make ur product hard to use.

Hello Schneider,

Onto your questions:

• We have added your feature request for DateTimeToDoubleConverter in our public issue tracking system and we will forward it to our developers for further consideration.
• You cannot bind the Axis.MinValue / MaxValue / Step properties as ChartArea.AxisX / ChartArea.AxisY properties do not expose the actual visual axis elements (i.e. these are "data" axes and are DependencyObjects and not FrameworkElements). In Silverlight 3 the binding target can be a DependencyProperty of a FrameworkElement only (not a generic DependencyObject) and this limitation cannot be worked around. We will consider improving this behavior for the Silverlight 4 version of the control as the new version of the Silverlight framework should loosen up this restriction.
• Indeed you are right -- this behavior was not intuitive and is already fixed (default step value equals 1 now). You can download the weekly internal build from your Client.Net account and you will be able to use the updated version of the control.

Kind regards,
Freddie
