Set bar chart label via code

[DMM]

BarSeries series = new BarSeries();                 
series.CategoryBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding() { PropertyName = "Name" };                 
series.ValueBinding = new PropertyNameDataPointBinding() { PropertyName = "Value" };                 
series.ShowLabels = true;                 
series.ItemsSource = points;

My ItemsSource is just a list of my datapoint class.  
How do I set the label for each point?  
I can do it via xaml easy enough.  How about code?
   

<telerik:CategoricalDataPoint Category="1" Value="0.05" Label="Some Point Specific Text"> 




I tried and failed with 

             <telerik:BarSeries.LabelDefinitions > 
                    <telerik:ChartSeriesLabelDefinition > 
                        <telerik:ChartSeriesLabelDefinition.Template>
                             <DataTemplate> 
                                <StackPanel>
                                     <TextBlock Text="{Binding}"></TextBlock> 
                                    <TextBlock> 
                                    <TextBlock.Text>
                                          <Binding RelativeSource="{RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType={x:Type telerik:BarSeries}}" 
                                                    Path="DataPoints[0].DataItem.MyLabelProp"/>
                                     </TextBlock.Text>
                                     </TextBlock>
                               </StackPanel>
                             </DataTemplate>
                         </telerik:ChartSeriesLabelDefinition.Template>
                     </telerik:ChartSeriesLabelDefinition>
                 </telerik:BarSeries.LabelDefinitions>

Hi David,

Currently it is not possible to have access to the DataItem from the label template. I have discussed this with our developers and we think that it will be of great help to have access to both the value and the data item. This is why I have logged this as a feature request here in our PITS where you can vote for the feature and track its status.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. I have updated your Telerik points as a thank you for pointing this issue to us and helping us improve our products.
