Position Labels in CodeBehind

[IT]

Hi Folks - Just wanted to know how you go about positioning the value labels of a chart in code behind.

i know you can position them in design view but i really want to position them all in code behind
i would need hem positioned in the middle of the bar if possible.


Thanks Folks

Hi Brian,

I assume you are talking for the series labels. Here is a sample code:

series.Appearance.LabelAppearance.LabelLocation = Telerik.Charting.Styles.StyleSeriesItemLabel.ItemLabelLocation.Inside;
series.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Center;

Let me know if those are not the labels you want to position but, please, specify to which labels you refer.

Hello Brian,

Here is a sample usage in Page_Load:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // In this case, we use SqlDataSource to fill in the chart
    this.RadChart1.DataSource = SqlDataSource1;
    this.RadChart1.DataBind();

    foreach(Series series in this.RadChart1.Series)
    {
        series.Appearance.LabelAppearance.LabelLocation = Telerik.Charting.Styles.StyleSeriesItemLabel.ItemLabelLocation.Inside;
        series.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Position.AlignedPosition = Telerik.Charting.Styles.AlignedPositions.Center;
    }
}

Hi there,

thanks for the quick reply.

what namespace is 'series' in?

Hi Brian,

Here is the foreach statement again, including the namespace:

foreach(Telerik.Charting.ChartSeries series in radChart1.Series)
{
  ...
}
