I use a datasource to populate my chart. From a previous post, I discovered how to use the datacolumn name to populate the legend programmatically. Can you program the legend so that it shows 2 columns. Ex. category name and category count and turn off all label on graph?

Hi Germaine,
It is not possible to instruct the legend to display data from two columns automatically. However, you can handle the server-side RadChart.BeforeLayout event and add there as many custom legend items as your scenario requires -- you can see the described approach in action in the attached sample application that we sent you in the other forum thread labelled "Customize Legend Items".
As for the other question -- you can turn off the series item labels by setting ChartSeries.Appearance.ShowLabels property to false for every series you have defined in your chart.

Can you program the legend to display items in more than one column? I have a legend with 7 items, but I'd like them to display as two columns instead of one long column. Is this possible?

Hi Sue,
Unfortunately RadChart does not support such functionality -- you could only customize whether the legend items should be rendered in a single row or column via the RadChart.Legend.Appearance.Overflow property but you cannot customize the number of rows / columns to display.

working the way I hoped! Thank you!
