I am migrating my data visualization components from Infragistics to Telerik.
I'm having a bit of trouble using Telerik's pie chart. I have the chart databound to a sqldatasource that returns the following table as a result:
The challenge is this, I want the Budget values to show up on the actual pie and on the legend, I want the Fund names to show up. What Telerik does by default is have the Budget values show up on the pie and on the legend block, it just shows the word Budget. I don't think that's very helpful at all for visualization. The end user needs to see the number and they need to be able to see what fund the actual number belongs to.
In Infragistics, this was done by default. Telerik seems to have a different mechanism in plotting this out. Any help is certainly appreciated.

Hi PJ Rodriguez,
I have attached a sample project, demonstrating the functionality you need. Basically, I used the BeforeLayout to change pie slice labels to the datapoint values.
I hope this helps.
