Binding X-axis and formatting

[LianZA]

Hi

I'm currently binding to a Datatable's rows property as follows:

(this works 100% for line and area charts)

               Dim series2 As New SeriesAttributes

               series2.ItemsSource = tbl.Rows

               series2.Gallery = Gallery.Bar

               series2.BindingPath = "CUM_BM_RET"

               series2.BindingPathX = "DATE"

               Chart1.Series.Add(series2)

X axis labels turns out fine but no data is shown, just an empty chart

If i dont set the "BindingPathX property on the series, but set the

BindingPath property on AxisX.Label :

          Chart1.AxisX.Labels.BindingPath = "DATE"

The chart and labels display correctly, except setting the format or

custom format has no effect on the labels

               Chart1.AxisX.Labels.Format = AxisFormat.Date

               Chart1.AxisX.Labels.CustomFormat = "yyyy/MM/dd"

The labels are still shown in full date time format ("2008/01/31 12:00:00 AM")

What is the correct way to this?

I'm using build 0.8.3091.27388

I am having the exact same problem!  I know this reply isn't helpful, I just want to make sure the SoftwareFX team is aware that more than one person is having this problem.

 Hi David,

 As a work around, try iterating through the labels collection and set each label's formatting manually, this seems to work.

We have fixed this issue in our internal build so either the Labels.Format/CustomFormat will be honored when reading date labels as strings.

Please send a message to wpf at softwarefx dot com to request a hotfix.
