Changing datetime format on mschart axis

Question

I'm using mschart to display some values over a timeperiod.

It looks something like this:

As you can see the first value is from 15:11 and the last from 16:10 But on the x-axis it's on displaying the days. How can I change this?

EDIT: Changing XValueType to ChartValueType.Time leads to this:

Solution

To show DateTime related values on the XAxis you can choose to set the XValueType property.

In your case Series[0].XValueType = ChartValueType.Time would be the right thing to display time related values.

To format the values you can use ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Format which would translate your values into the required format say like HH:mm:ss.

ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Format ="HH:mm:ss";

How to display AM/PM values ?

A little tip! Use Keywords such as #VALY{HH:mm:ss} if seconds are not displaying.

I found that I had to put chartArea1.AxisX.LabelStyle.Format ="HH:mm:ss"; in my designer file before this would work.
