I am using the RadChart control to display a pie chart on my page.

However, it seems to be ignoring the LegendDisplayMode and StartAngle that I am setting on the series.

The RadChart is added to the page with the following:

1.<telerik:RadChart ID="ComplianceActionsChart" runat="server" SkinsOverrideStyles="true"
2.  ChartTitle-TextBlock-Text="Compliance Actions Pie Chart" AutoLayout="True" Skin="DeepRed"
3.  Width="330px" Height="200px" PlotArea-EmptySeriesMessage-TextBlock-Text="There is no data available yet."
4.  DefaultType="Pie">
5.</telerik:RadChart>

The code to create the series is:

1.ChartSeries dataSeries = new ChartSeries("Current Data", ChartSeriesType.Pie);
2.dataSeries.Appearance.LegendDisplayMode = ChartSeriesLegendDisplayMode.ItemLabels;
3.dataSeries.Appearance.StartAngle = -90;
4. 
5.ChartSeriesItem free = new ChartSeriesItem(aCurrentData.Item1);
6.free.Name = "Item 1";
7.free.Label.TextBlock.Text = "#%";
8.dataSeries.AddItem(free);
I have 4 more items which are added to the chart.

When it displays, the legend only contains "Current Data" instead of the item names and the pie chart has the default rotation.

I tried creating the series in the aspx file with the appearance values set, but this produced the same result.

Is there anything I am missing in setting this up?

Hello Mark Cheeseborough,

It seems SkinsOverrideStyles setting is the one that interferes with the rotation angle and legend display mode. Please, set it to false. If you still need it set to true (that is, you need the built-in skins to override your style settings in RadChart) you can wire the BeforeLayout event and configure the chart series there.
