I am using the trial version of Silverlight DataVisualization chart and I would like to use data from a web service as the input to this chart. Another thing that I would like to do is add the date from the data retrieved to the X-axis. Following is the code I am using
A few things:
Hope this helps!

Thank you Graham. But that did not do anything other than showing the way it was. Is there something I am missing ? Could you check on your end to see if it shows any values? As you can see from the code I havent really used any external source for data so it may be easier for you to check and may be send me a screenshot if it works for you.
Thanks,

Hi,
Could you share how you have defined the chart also? A small sample application would help.

This is the whole code from my xaml file. As this is a sample app I am trying I am pasting all the code without any section removals or anything like that.
Try adding the following lines to your XAML, inside the X Axis tag:
<igChart:Axis.Label>
<igChart:LabelGroup Format="" />
</igChart:Axis.Label>
It looks like this issue has come back with 2011.2.
Any ideas?
I am running into exactly the same thing with 2011.1 Silverlight XamWebChart when doing a StackedColumn chart.
Strangely enough, when I do a ScatterLine chart, it works fine. Too bad I actually need a StackedColumn chart in this case.
Has there been any progress on this issue?
Mike
Are you running the latest service release of the product? I believe this should no longer be an issue.
I am also facing the same issue...my XamWebChart doesn't show up the date in the x-axis rather it shows 1,2....10
I am using wcf ria service to pull the data from database and binding IEnumerable collection to the chart data source.
Thanks
