[Zeno]

Hi team,

i m having some problem with the chart label top positioning
here is my code...

ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries();
series.Name = legendLabel;
series.Type = charttype;
series.DefaultLabelValue = "";
series.Appearance.Border.Visible = true;
series.Appearance.Border.Width = 1;
series.Appearance.Border.Color = Color.Gray;
series.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid;
series.Appearance.Corners.TopLeft = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
series.Appearance.Corners.TopRight = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
series.Appearance.Corners.BottomLeft = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
series.Appearance.Corners.BottomRight = Telerik.Charting.Styles.CornerType.Round;
series.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = chartcolor;
series.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Color = Color.Gray;
//series.Appearance.LabelAppearance.LabelLocation = Telerik.Charting.Styles.StyleSeriesItemLabel.ItemLabelLocation.Outside;

string axiscategory = string.Empty;

series.YAxisType = ChartYAxisType.Primary;
series.DefaultLabelValue = "#Y{C0}";

ch1.PlotArea.XAxis.AddRange(1, vals.Count, 1);

for (int i = 0; i < vals.Count; i++)
{
    switch (i)
    {
        case 0:
            axiscategory = "Client HW + MS VDA";
            break;
        case 1:
            axiscategory = "Server HW";
            break;
        case 2:
            axiscategory = "Storage HW";
            break;
        case 3:
            axiscategory = "Networking & Security HW";
            break;
        case 4:
            axiscategory = "VMW SW + SnS";
            break;
        case 5:
            axiscategory = "Infrastructure Admin";
            break;
        case 6:
            axiscategory = "Power & Cooling";
            break;
        case 7:
            axiscategory = "Rack Space & Office Space";
            break;
        case 8:
            axiscategory = "Services + Training";
            break;
        case 9:
            axiscategory = "Planned Downtime";
            break;
        case 10:
            axiscategory = "Unplanned Downtime";
            break;
        case 11:
            axiscategory = "Business Downtime";
            break;
        case 12:
            axiscategory = "Other + Tax";
            break;
        default:
            axiscategory = string.Empty;
            break;
    }
    ch1.PlotArea.XAxis[i].TextBlock.Text = axiscategory;
    ChartSeriesItem item = new ChartSeriesItem();
    item.XValue = i + 1;
    item.YValue = (Convert.ToDouble(Utility.CurrenyMultiplier(vals[i]))) / 1000;
    //item.Label.TextBlock.Text = "";
    item.Name = axiscategory;
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(format))
        item.ActiveRegion.Tooltip = item.YValue.ToString(format);
    if (item.YValue == 0)
        item.Visible = false;
    series.Items.Add(item);
}
// This logic used for seriesitem label text will nevere hide or overlap
ChartSeriesItem dummyitem = new ChartSeriesItem();
dummyitem.XValue = vals.Count + 1;// last item
dummyitem.YValue = (vals.Max() + (vals.Average() / 2)) / 1000;
dummyitem.Visible = false;
series.Items.Add(dummyitem);
return series;

Hi Zeno,

Try setting the chart's IntelligentLabelsEnabled to false.

If this does not help, could you send us a runnable copy of your project, so we could further assist you and be able to better investigate what causes your issue.

Best wishes,
