AddBreaks PrimaryXAxis by Date

[Eric Robishaw]

Given a chart with a PrimaryXAxis which is date oriented...

I want to add breaks every day/date boundary.
The AddBreak() method only takes a double value...

How would I convert the appropriate date into double values?

I can use a stripline for dates, but I really like the look of the breaks...

Hi Eric,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

We can convert the date object to double value in AddBreak method by using ToOADate() method of datetime object.please refer below code snippet.

[C#]
DateTime start = new DateTime(2011, 5, 27);
this.ChartWebControl1.PrimaryXAxis.AddBreak(start.ToOADate(), start.AddDays(4).ToOADate());

We have prepared a simple sample and the same can be downloaded from the following link.

Thanks that's a start.

However, it appears that breaks are not visible when you zoom in.

Is that by design?

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your patience.

We have analyzed your requirement and found that if we set the break and while zooming, the break will not be visible which is the default behavior of in our current implementation.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
