I know this is a coming attraction. I'm hoping there is a way to work around this now.
I have a bar chart with company names on the x axis and $ on the y axis. The company names average 20 characters so they all overwrite each other and smear together horizontally. What I really need to do is to have the company names on the y axis and a horizontal bar for $ for each one. Since this is not currently possible, is there a way I can make the x axis names be vertical rather than horizontal? This would look a little strange, but at least the company names would be readable.

Hi Terry,
You can find rotated X axis labels here. Check this line:
chartArea.AxisX.LabelRotationAngle = 45;

Thanks. That works, but my bars are close together and the labels are long. When they rotate around the center, the starting point for the first couple of labels end up being far to the left of the bars they represent, so I had to use 90 degrees or -90 degrees to make them line up.
Will horizontal bars happen with the Q3 release? That is the ultimate solution.

Hi Terry,
We can confirm that HorizontalBar will be introduced with the Q3 2009 official release. At the moment you can download the Q3 2009 BETA from your Client.Net account to preview the new HorizontalBar / HorizontalStackedBar, and HorizontalStackedBar100 series types.
