[RESOLVED] C# Charting and text in chartArea

Hello there, I need your help.

I need print in my ChartArea this text extract from the query:

your last statement is the best way

I tried this way but in the ChartArea I've 0 value printed, why?

            Chart1.Series.Add("Series2");
            Chart1.Series["Series2"].YValueMembers = "TheMessage";
            Chart1.Series["Series2"].IsValueShownAsLabel = true;

Can you help me?

Thank you

In order to display text in chart area you should use this:

Chart1.Titles.Add(new Title("Title 1"));

If you need to display text on your axis, you should not edit YValueMembers as it is used to as data point required to build the chart. Instead try this:

 foreach (Series series in Chart1.Series)
  {
    foreach (DataPoint point in series.Points)
    {   //if non-empty data point
        if (point.YValues.Length > 0)
        {
                point.LegendText = point.AxisLabel;//In case you have legend
                point.AxisLabel = "Products";
                point.Label = "custom label";
        }
    }
  }

thank you for help, but I don't need print the title of my chart, but in the chartarea the text value extracted from my db.
