  Hello, I want to add Label or Text to ChartSeriesItem into RadChart and display it instead of "YValue" field.
  This is my C# code:
  
  if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
              {
                  foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
                  {
                      ChartSeriesItem chartItem = new ChartSeriesItem();
                      chartSeries.AddItem(chartItem);
  
                      // "Y".
                      chartItem.YValue = Convert.ToInt32(row["StartStatus"]) / 60;
                      chartItem.YValue2 = Convert.ToInt32(row["DeltaStatus"]) / 60;
  
                      chartItem.Name = <-- this property doesn't work!
                  }
              }
  
  Thanks

  Hello Michele,
  
  To be able to set custom Label for Series Item you should use the Label.TextBlock.Text property like this:
  

  ChartSeries chartSeries1 = new ChartSeries();

       ChartSeriesItem chartItem = new ChartSeriesItem();

       chartItem.YValue = 9;

       chartItem.Label.TextBlock.Text = "MyCustomLabel";

       chartSeries1.AddItem(chartItem);

       RadChart1.AddChartSeries(chartSeries1);

  
  The chartItem.Name property can be used to set Legend Name for this SeriesItem which will be visible when the LegendDisplayMode property of the chart Serie is set to ItemLabels:
  

  chartSeries1.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels;
