chart

I am new to Visual Studio 2012 charts and before asking this question, I researched extensively for the solution to this problem, it has worked for others but not for me. I am trying to add data points to a point chart with the date on the X-Axis (1.08.2013-31.08.2013) and numbers on Y-Axis (1-10). This is the code for my .ascx file with the chart controls:

<asp:Chart ID="ActionsChart1" runat="server" Width="997px">
    <series>
        <asp:Series ChartType="Point" Name="ActionsSeries" XValueType="Date" YValueType="Int32" YAxisType="Primary" XAxisType="Primary">
        
    </series>
    <chartareas>
        <asp:ChartArea Name="ActionPlotArea" AlignmentOrientation="Horizontal">

            <axisy title="Priority" maximum="10" minimum="1" interval="1">
                <majorgrid enabled="False" />
            </axisy>
            <axisx interval="1" intervaloffset="1" intervaloffsettype="Days" intervaltype="Days" islabelautofit="False" maximum="31" minimum="1" title="Date">
                <majorgrid enabled="False" />
                <LabelStyle Angle="-50" Format="dd.08.2013" Interval="1" IntervalOffset="1" IntervalOffsetType="Days" IntervalType="Days" />
            </axisx>

        
    </chartareas>

Here is the class with the function (.ascx.cs) to load data points:

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

namespace ProjectGatewayKeyStats.ActionsChart
{
    [ToolboxItemAttribute(false)]
    public partial class ActionsChart : WebPart
    {
        // Uncomment the following SecurityPermission attribute only when doing Performance Profiling on a farm solution
        // using the Instrumentation method, and then remove the SecurityPermission attribute when the code is ready
        // for production. Because the SecurityPermission attribute bypasses the security check for callers of
        // your constructor, it's not recommended for production purposes.
        // [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Assert, UnmanagedCode = true)]

        DataTable actionsTableData = new DataTable();

        public ActionsChart()
        {
        }

        protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnInit(e);
            InitializeControl();
        }

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }

        protected void ActionsChart1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //DOES NOTHING, WHY?
            ActionsChart1.Series["ActionsSeries"].Points.AddXY(new DateTime(2013, 08, 01), 1);
            ActionsChart1.Series["ActionsSeries"].Points.AddXY(new DateTime(2013, 08, 29), 3);
            ActionsChart1.Series["ActionsSeries"].Points.AddXY(new DateTime(2013, 08, 18), 4);
            ActionsChart1.Series["ActionsSeries"].Points.AddXY(new DateTime(2013, 08, 15), 6);
            ActionsChart1.Series["ActionsSeries"].Points.AddXY(new DateTime(2013, 08, 24), 2);
            ActionsChart1.Series["ActionsSeries"].Points.AddXY(new DateTime(2013, 08, 28), 5);
        }
    }
}

The result of the above code is just a blank chart with no points on it. Do I need to set a marker.Visible or something? Please help. Thanks.
