How to: Change the Names for Auto-Created Series

• Nov 15, 2018

This example details how to programmatically change the names for auto-created series.

To accomplish this, handle the ChartControl.CustomDrawSeries (WebChartControl.CustomDrawSeries) event in the following way.

C#

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraCharts;
// ...

private void chartControl1_CustomDrawSeries(object sender, CustomDrawSeriesEventArgs e) {
    e.LegendText = e.LegendText.Remove(0, 3);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub chartControl1_CustomDrawSeries(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As CustomDrawSeriesEventArgs) Handles chartControl1.CustomDrawSeries
    e.LegendText = e.LegendText.Remove(0, 3)
End Sub
