This example demonstrates how to access and customize axis labels.

C#

XYDiagram diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram;

// Customize the X-axis labels' appearance.
diagram.AxisX.Label.Angle = -30;
diagram.AxisX.Label.Staggered = true;
diagram.AxisX.Label.TextColor = Color.Bisque;

// As opposed to the above properties, the following ones
// will not affect custom labels, if they exist for the axes.
diagram.AxisX.Label.BeginText = "Some prefix ";
diagram.AxisX.Label.EndText = " some postfix.";

VB.NET

' Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
Dim diagram As XYDiagram = CType(chartControl1.Diagram, XYDiagram)

' Customize the X-axis labels' appearance.
diagram.AxisX.Label.Angle = - 30
diagram.AxisX.Label.Staggered = True
diagram.AxisX.Label.TextColor = Color.Bisque

' As opposed to the above properties, the following ones
' will not affect custom labels, if they exist for the axes.
diagram.AxisX.Label.BeginText = "Some prefix "
diagram.AxisX.Label.EndText = " some postfix."
