Question

I am having problem to show the grid in a way that I wanted. But I am also not sure whether it is possible to do that in the Silverlight toolkit chart. So any help or direction on this would be appreciated.

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
<charting:Chart x:Name="myChart" Width="600" Height="400">
<charting:BarSeries                 
Title="Tasks"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Data1}"
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}"
DependentValueBinding="{Binding Task}"
DependentRangeAxis="{Binding ElementName=TaskAxis}">
</charting:BarSeries>
<charting:LineSeries                 
Title="Benefits"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Data1}"
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}"
DependentValueBinding="{Binding Benefits}"
DependentRangeAxis="{Binding ElementName=BenefitsAxis}">
</charting:LineSeries>
<charting:Chart.Axes>
<charting:LinearAxis Orientation="Y" Location="Left" Title="First" x:Name="TaskAxis" />
<charting:LinearAxis Orientation="Y" Location="Right" Title="Second" x:Name="BenefitsAxis" />
</charting:Chart.Axes>
 </charting:Chart>
</Grid>

Given the above snippet, is it possible to have the Yaxis on the left to show the month and the top x-axis to show the tasks value, and bottom x-axis to show the benefits value.

So in a way, it is sharing the Yaxis for the month. and it can use either top/bottom x-axis or even right Yaxis to plot the tasks and benefits value.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.

The example below has the task axis on the top and the benefits axis on the bottom, with a shared Y-axis on the left:

<toolkit:Chart x:Name="myChart" Width="600" Height="800">
    <toolkit:BarSeries                 
            Title="Tasks"
            ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Data1}"
            IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}"
            DependentValueBinding="{Binding Task}"
            DependentRangeAxis="{Binding ElementName=TaskAxis}">
    </toolkit:BarSeries>

    <toolkit:BarSeries                 
            Title="Benefits"
            ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Data1}"
            IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Month}"
            DependentValueBinding="{Binding Benefits}"
            DependentRangeAxis="{Binding ElementName=BenefitsAxis}">
    </toolkit:BarSeries>

    <toolkit:Chart.Axes>
        <toolkit:LinearAxis Orientation="X" Location="Top" Title="Task" x:Name="TaskAxis" />
        <toolkit:LinearAxis Orientation="X" Location="Bottom" Title="Benefits" x:Name="BenefitsAxis" />
    </toolkit:Chart.Axes>
</toolkit:Chart>
