Is it possible to display the x-axis values of the DataVisualization.Charting.Chart in hexadecimal?

Question

Recently started using the Chart control included in .NET 4 in the DataVisualization.Charting namespace. I am working on a project where a delay value used in an FPGA is displayed on the x-axis of a line chart during calibrations. The value is used elsewhere as a hexadecimal value.

Was wondering if there is a way to display the x-axis labels in hexadecimal format. It's not vital as can simply convert values following runs with relative ease, but would certainly be an enhancement. Any help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The LabelStyle of the Axis objects have a Format property, so you can use any of the standard C# formatting strings. You can thus set

chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Format = "X4";
