NumberFormat for dates not working

[Ian Hannah]

I am using OWC10 for creating a chart in ASP.NET. I am suing data read from
a SQL Database and I am creating a Y axis and an X axis. The graph is
displaying data read at a number of different dates over a date range. The x
axis is displaying the dates.

The problem I am having is that the date format is always MM/DD/YYYY
regardless of how the NumberFormat is set i.e. dates are always in US format.
I have noticed that if I set the enumeration to either auto or manual the
dates show in the correct format but the graph it wrong. If I set it to
NumberFormatEnum.None then the graph is correct but the date format is wrong.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or is there a bug in setting the
NumberFormat?

Alvin,

I have looked at this article and it does not seem to help me.

This is what I am doing:

// Add the dates to the array
rgDates.Add(SqlData.GetDateTime(idxDate));

// Set the dates
Series.SetData(ChartDimensionsEnum.chDimCategories,
(int)ChartSpecialDataSourcesEnum.chDataLiteral,
rgDates.ToArray());

DateAxis.HasTitle = true;
DateAxis.NumberFormat = "MM/YYYY"

DateAxis.GroupingType = ChartAxisGroupingEnum.chAxisGroupingNone;
// DateAxis.GroupingType = ChartAxisGroupingEnum.chAxisGroupingAuto;

If I comment out the chAxisGroupingNone line and uncomment the line
below then the date formatting works and I have no idea why!

It's not an article, it's a newsgroup post with a similar issue.

Alvin,

As I said before I have not managed to find the article that you are
refering to in this newsgroup. There is an article relating to adding a dummy
category so allow times to be displayed correctly but this does not relate to
my issue. I cannot find any other articles concerning dates and numberformat
in this newsgroup.

I would be really grateful if you could give me further details so I can
find this article.

Thanks
