  I have added a Flexchart to my application. (vb.net Winforms) and it is very easy to work with. I do have one question though. How can I format the data displayed? The chart I am using shows total opportunities and total quotes for each sales rep as a dollar figure. The trouble I that the amounts show up as 50678 rather than $50,678. Is there a way to apply that formatting to the series when it is bound to the chart control?

  Thanks,

  Mike

  Hi Mike,

  Since data range in a chart is displayed by its Axes so, FlexChart provides an Axis.Format property to format axis labels. You can specify the axis labels to be formatted as currency values as follows:

  FlexChart1.AxisY.Format = "C0"
  

  However, if you are using DataLabels to display the data point values then you can specify formatting as follows:

  FlexChart1.DataLabel.Position = C1.Chart.LabelPosition.Top
  FlexChart1.DataLabel.Content = "{value:C0}"
  
  

  Hope this will help.

  Thanks,
