        public class data
        {
            public DateTime x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
        }

Periods

Positioning period selector

The position property allows the users to position the period selector at the Top or Bottom.

@(Html.EJS().RangeNavigator("container")
                    .ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.RangeValueType.DateTime)
                    .LabelFormat("MMM-yy")
                    .PeriodSelectorSettings(ps => ps.Position(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.PeriodSelectorPosition.Top).Periods(ViewBag.periods).Position("Bottom"))
                .Series(sr =>
                {
                    sr.XName("x").YName("y").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).Add();
                }).Render()
                )
public IActionResult Index()
        {
             List <data>dataSource = new List<data>
            {
                new data { x = new DateTime(2005, 01, 01), y = 21, y1 = 28 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2006, 01, 01), y = 24, y1 = 44 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2007, 01, 01), y = 36, y1 = 48 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2008, 01, 01), y = 38, y1 = 50 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2009, 01, 01), y = 54, y1 = 66 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01), y = 57, y1 = 78 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2011, 01, 01), y = 70, y1 = 84 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = dataSource;
            
            return View();
        }
        public class data
        {
            public DateTime x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
        }

Positioning

Height

The height property allows the users to specify the height of the period selector. The default value of the height property is 43px.

@(Html.EJS().RangeNavigator("container")
                    .ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.RangeValueType.DateTime)
                    .LabelFormat("MMM-yy")
                    .PeriodSelectorSettings(ps => ps.Position(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.PeriodSelectorPosition.Top).Periods(ViewBag.periods).Height("45"))
                .Series(sr =>
                {
                    sr.XName("x").YName("y").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).Add();
                }).Render()
                )
public IActionResult Index()
        {
             List <data>dataSource = new List<data>
            {
                new data { x = new DateTime(2005, 01, 01), y = 21, y1 = 28 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2006, 01, 01), y = 24, y1 = 44 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2007, 01, 01), y = 36, y1 = 48 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2008, 01, 01), y = 38, y1 = 50 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2009, 01, 01), y = 54, y1 = 66 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01), y = 57, y1 = 78 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2011, 01, 01), y = 70, y1 = 84 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = dataSource;
            
            return View();
        }
        public class data
        {
            public DateTime x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
        }

Height

Visibility of range navigator

The disableRangeSelector property allows the users to display only the period selector and not the Range Selector.

@(Html.EJS().RangeNavigator("container")
                    .ValueType(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.RangeValueType.DateTime)
                    .LabelFormat("MMM-yy")
                    .DisableRangeSelector("true")
                    .PeriodSelectorSettings(ps => ps.Position(Syncfusion.EJ2.Charts.PeriodSelectorPosition.Top).Periods(ViewBag.periods))
                .Series(sr =>
                {
                    sr.XName("x").YName("y").DataSource(ViewBag.dataSource).Add();
                }).Render()
                )
public IActionResult Index()
        {
             List <data>dataSource = new List<data>
            {
                new data { x = new DateTime(2005, 01, 01), y = 21, y1 = 28 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2006, 01, 01), y = 24, y1 = 44 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2007, 01, 01), y = 36, y1 = 48 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2008, 01, 01), y = 38, y1 = 50 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2009, 01, 01), y = 54, y1 = 66 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2010, 01, 01), y = 57, y1 = 78 },
                new data { x = new DateTime(2011, 01, 01), y = 70, y1 = 84 },
            };
            ViewBag.dataSource = dataSource;
            
            return View();
        }
        public class data
        {
            public DateTime x;
            public double y;
            public double y1;
        }
