We have addressed the issue described in this ticket and will include a fix in our next maintenance update. To apply this solution before official release, request a hotfix by clicking the appropriate version link.

Note: Hotfixes may be unavailable for betas/updates set for release within a week.

Additional information:

You can now use the Axis.AxisType property to replace the category axis with the date axis and vice versa. Set the Axis.Auto property to false before you change the axis type.

C#
var sheet = spreadsheetControl1.ActiveWorksheet;
var chart = sheet.Charts.Add(ChartType.LineMarker, sheet[0, 0]);
chart.Series[0].Values = new CellValue[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
chart.Series[0].Arguments = new CellValue[] { 44054, 44055, 44056, 44057, 44060 };
chart.PrimaryAxes[0].Auto = false;
chart.PrimaryAxes[0].AxisType = AxisType.Date;
chart.PrimaryAxes[0].NumberFormat.IsSourceLinked = false;
chart.PrimaryAxes[0].NumberFormat.FormatCode = "dd-mmm";

Note that InvalidOperationException will occur if you use the Axis.AxisType property to change the type of the value axis or series axis.
