Date as X value - what am I missing?

[User (Legacy)]

I'm missing a step to use date as a X value.  I have set both LabelFormat

and DataFormat to type Date.  I created a date object (for testing) but can

not figure out how to get the value into the X Value.  Every time it

complains that value needs type double.  Below is releveant code....help...

DateTime dt = new DateTime(03,12,12);

dt.ToShortDateString();

chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = AxisFormat.Date;

chart.AxisX.DataFormat.Format = AxisFormat.Date;

//chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "MMM-dd-yy";

chart.Value[0,0] = 4.605;

chart.XValue = dt.ToString();

chart.Value[0,1] = 5.004;

chart.XValue[0,1]= dt.ToString();

Hello,

You will only want to convert your date to a string if you are passing the

date as a label and not as an x-value as this sample shows.

If you are wanting to use it as an x-value then pass your date needs to

remain a double.  Please see this sample on how to directly pass a date from

a dataset to ChartFX.Net.

When you want to pass an x-value that is a date then you need to pass a

double that represents that date.
