OWC10 Chart Legend Problem

[NJost]

I'm creating a chart something like so in C# (I *have* simplified, mainly by
dropping try/catch blocks and abstracting my data collection code):
axChart = new OWC10.ChartSpaceClass();
axChart.Clear();
axChart.Charts.Add(0);
axChart.Charts[0].Type = OWC10.ChartChartTypeEnum.chChartTypeLine;
// Get date values as the categories EXP:
("01/01/2001,02/01/2001,03/01/2001")
axChart.Charts[0].SetData(OWC10.ChartDimensionsEnum.chDimCategories,
(int)OWC10.ChartSpecialDataSourcesEnum.chDataLiteral, sTotalReadBuffer);
while (sDataRecord = myStuff.GetRecord()) {

axChart.Charts[0].SeriesCollection[iSeriesCount].SetData(OWC10.ChartDimensio
nsEnum.chDimValues, (int)OWC10.ChartSpecialDataSourcesEnum.chDataLiteral,
sDataRecord);
iSeriesCount++;
}
axChart.Charts[0].Name = sFileName;
axChart.Charts[0].HasLegend = true;
axChart.Charts[0].Axes[0].HasTitle = true;
axChart.Charts[0].Axes[0].Title.Caption = "Date";
axChart.Charts[0].Axes[0].MajorUnit = 1;
axChart.Charts[0].Axes[1].HasTitle = true;
axChart.Charts[0].Axes[1].Title.Caption = "Buggers";

--END SNIPPET--

1.) When I run this I get an extra series in my legend labled "Series 1".
This series does not plot. I thought at first that I was reading too much
data so I did two things. First, I tried chopping off the last series.
This results in the chart running fine, but my dates disappear and are
replaced by whole numbers in ascending order of entry (e.g.
"01/01/2002,01/02/2002,01/03/2002" would be replaced by "1,2,3"). Second I
added a line that set the colors in my loop, this trailing entry didn't have
any of my color sets. I'm let to believe that adding categories creates a
new series, but how do I prevent that from showing up on the legend?
2.) I posted this in another thread, but how can I restrict *using strings
as my method of entry* the dates shown on the axis? I realize you can
group, which seems to work fine on bar graphs, but not on line graphs.

Hi

to avoid two legends being displayed ... use only
HasChartSpaceLegend property of ChartSpace and do not use
ChartSpace.Charts(0).HasLegend property at all... if u
intend to have only one chart being displayed all time.
