Hi!  I've created an aspx page which displays a pie chart.   I would like to display text values of 'Recorded', 'In Process', and 'Not Started' in the legend.  The chart is being populated in the code behind by an array which is built through stored procedures.  The text I would like to display in the legend isn't stored in the database and I need a way to manually specify those values.

Could someone provide me a code example of how to do this please?
Thank you!!

Just an FYI...I figured out how to set custom text in the Chart legend.  It may not be the most graceful way but it works. :-)

Essentially I followed the link below and then used parts from the example that I needed:
Pie Chart Legend

In the RadChart I added the 'BeforeLayout' subroutine and set the 'LegendDisplayMode' to be the 'ItemLabels'
<telerik:RadChart ID="rcCustom" runat="server" DefaultType="Pie" Width="710px"
AutoTextWrap="true" OnItemDataBound="rcCustom_ItemDataBound" Skin="LightGreen"
OnBeforeLayout="rcCustom_BeforeLayout">
   <Appearance Dimensions-Width="600px">
   </Appearance>
   <Series>
      <telerik:ChartSeries Name="Recording Status" Type="Pie" DataYColumn="iCount">
      <Appearance LegendDisplayMode="ItemLabels" ShowLabelConnectors="true">
      </Appearance>
      </telerik:ChartSeries>
   </Series>
</telerik:RadChart>


And in the BeforeLayout sub routine in the code behind added the following lines of code:
rcCustom.Legend.Items(0).TextBlock.Text = "Recorded"
rcCustom.Legend.Items(1).TextBlock.Text = "In Process"
rcCustom.Legend.Items(2).TextBlock.Text = "Not Recorded"
