  Sorry, I mean the data point label so for a bar chart each value is vertical across the bar

  Hi Kevin,
  
  Unfortunately this is not supported yet out of the box yet. You can achieve this by overriding the SeriesItemLabel template using a custom style. Here is the default template shipped with RadChart:
  
  

  <Setter Property="Template" >

  <Setter.Value>

  <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerikCharting:SeriesItemLabel">

  <Canvas>

  <TextBlock x:Name="PART_TextContainer"

  Canvas.Top="{TemplateBinding TextContainerCanvasTop}"

  Canvas.Left="{TemplateBinding TextContainerCanvasLeft}"

  VerticalAlignment="Stretch"

  TextAlignment="Center"

  Text="{TemplateBinding Content}"

  Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" />

  </Canvas>

  </ControlTemplate>

  </Setter.Value>

  </Setter>

  
  In WPF you can apply a rotate transform to rotate the textblock by 90 degrees.

  Hi Kevin,
  
  Unfortunately as my colleague noted this is not supported out-of-the-box yet. We will forward your inquiry to our developers for further consideration so this can be added for one of the future releases of the control.

  Hi,
  
  Is there already a way to transform the data point label of the bar to be vertical in c# or vb-code?
  
  Thanks
  Marcel

  Hi Marcel,
  
  We have extended the label positioning API and added smart positioning algorithm for the Q1 2010 release but unfortunately it is still not possible to rotate the label with C# code only. This feature request is also added to our our public issue tracking system.
