Thank you very much. It is totally crazy, that the same code, but put in ASP (I mean I used tags, not C# code) does not work.

Hello Maciej,

The reason for this behavior is in the way RadChart databinding works. You have two options:

• Create the series you need -- in this case you have to set their DataYColumn property with the name of the column/field you need to plot.
• Let the chart create the series for you - it will create series for every numeric column/field in the underlying datasource.

In this case, you have created the series, but their DataYColumn property is not set. So, RadChart will clear them and it will create new ones. That is why the ShowLabels setting is lost. You will need to either set the DataYColumn for each series or remove them completely and wire DataBound event. There you will be able to loop through the actual series in RadChart and hide their labels like this:

radChart.Series[i].Appearance.LabelAppearance.Visible = false;

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have few queries on the similar line.

1. I wish to hide few label in itemdatabound event of radchart. I added itemdatabound event but it does not called. does it require to enable any specific property of radchart ?

<telerik:RadChart ID="rc_CSCO_Case_Source_Trend" runat="server"
OnItemDataBound="rc_CSCO_Case_Source_Trend_ItemDataBound">
</telerik:RadChart>

Protected Sub rc_CSCO_Case_Source_Trend_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Charting.ChartItemDataBoundEventArgs) Handles rc_CSCO_Case_Source_Trend.ItemDataBound

        End If
    End Sub

2. How to get and hide a specific series item label value in itemdatabound event runtime ?

please see attached image, where i wish to hide label values less than 6 since these are overlapping with other label values.

Hello Prayag,

What I can suggest is that you handle the BeforeLayout event of the Chart and hide those Series Items labels that have YValue < 6 for example. Here is how to hide those labels that have Value < 6 handling the event:

Private MilestoneChart.BeforeLayout += New EventHandler(Of EventArgs)(AddressOf MilestoneChart_BeforeLayout)

Private Sub MilestoneChart_BeforeLayout(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        For i As Integer = 0 To MilestoneChart.Series(0).Items.Count - 1
            If Double.Parse(MilestoneChart.Series(0).Items(i).Label.TextBlock.Text) < 20 Then
                MilestoneChart.Series(0).Items(i).Label.Visible = False
            End If
        Next i
End Sub

Have in mind that the above code snippet is set to loop through Series[0] only and you should modify it to check for all other series.

Kind regards,
