  ChartSeries objSeriesActual = new ChartSeries("Actual", ChartSeriesType.Bar);

  foreach (FinanceData objFinanceData in actualFinanceDataList)

  {

      objSeriesActual.AddItem(objFinanceData.Revenue, objFinanceData.Revenue.ToString());

  }

   

   

  ChartSeries objSeriesBudget = new ChartSeries("Budget", ChartSeriesType.Bar);

  foreach (FinanceData objFinanceData in budgetFinanceDataList)

  {

      objSeriesBudget.AddItem(objFinanceData.Revenue, objFinanceData.Revenue.ToString());

  }

   

   

  revenueFinanceChart.Series.Add(objSeriesActual);

  revenueFinanceChart.Series.Add(objSeriesBudget);

  revenueFinanceChart.DataBind();

  
  Dear Telerik,
  
  I have made a chart that displays two series of actual and budget finance data for some companies. I would like to now replace the xaxis labels 1, 2, 3 etc underneath the bars with the name of the companies. I want this to be picked up from the financedata lists such as
  using objSeriesActual.PlotArea.XAxis.AxisLabel.TextBlock.Text = objFinanceData.Name but this does not work; reference to object not found.
  How can I accomplish this?

  Hello David,
  
  You can review this help topic where it is shown how to bind the Axis Labels to a property ofyour business object. For the purpose RadChart exposes the DataLabelsColumn property of the XAxis.

  Thank you for your response.
  
  I am still not able to implement this after reading your link. As you can see by my example I am itterating through actualFinanceDataList  and budgetFinanceDataList and adding the items to the series. So I need to name my xaxis labels at that time right?
  
  Thanks

  Hello David,
  
   As reviewing your code snippet again I saw that you are binding the two series to two collections of one and the same business object (FinanceData object). Do you really need this? I suggest that you create two properties in your FinanceData class for each series. Something like RevenueSeries1 and RevenueSeries2. Then you may easily bind the DataLabelsColumn property of the XAxis to a common property of your business object.
  
  Let me know if you need a sample for the described approach.
