I have a simple example chart to show the issue. In a 2-series column chart, without using SecondaryY axis, the chart shows with the columns for each x axis data point next to each other, how we want it. (see screenshot) I have purposely set the values in the 2nd series to a different "range" than the 1st.
When adding the AxisY property to the 2nd series, the sencond Y axis shows properly, but the columns for each series are lined up on top of each other. (see screenshot)
Am I using the Axis settings incorrectly, or is this the expected behaivor? If so, is there any way to get the columns next to each other when using 2 Y axes?
Dim dt As New DataTable() dt.Columns.Add("Items", GetType(String)) dt.Columns.Add("Miles Column", GetType(Decimal)) dt.Columns.Add("Fillups Column", GetType(Decimal))
dt.Rows.Add("Item 1", 110, 20) dt.Rows.Add("Item 2", 115, 30) dt.Rows.Add("Item 3", 120, 40) dt.Rows.Add("Item 4", 125, 55)

I have got this issue too in Windows Form NetAdvantage 2011.1.
Hello David,
If I understand well your requirements, maybe one possible approach to solve this task could be if you are using FillSceneGraph event. Please take a look at the attached sample for more details and let me know if you have any questios.
