    this.chartControl.AxisScaleChanged += OnAxisScaleChanged;
}

private void OnAxisScaleChanged(object sender, AxisScaleChangedEventArgs e) {
    AxisX axis = e.Axis as AxisX;
    DateTimeScaleChangedEventArgs args = e as DateTimeScaleChangedEventArgs;
    if ((args == null) || (args == null)) return;
