MSChart: Pie Chart Label Overlapping issue

Question

I have used MSChart Control in my one VB.NET project. I have decided to display data as shown in below table in to Pie chart.

But labels are being overlapped on each other for getting rid of it I have tried “Smart Label” properties as shown below.

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.Enabled = True
Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.AllowOutsidePlotArea = LabelOutsidePlotAreaStyle.No

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle = LineAnchorCapStyle.None

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineColor = Color.Red

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineWidth = 1
Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutStyle = LabelCalloutStyle.None

But it doesn’t help me…though it shows me output as per below screen shot.

Which are the properties i have to use for getting rid of it?......

EDIT:

If i do set Custom Property PieLabelStyle=Outside it doesn't make any difference as you can see in below screen shote.

Please help me..

Answer 1

Change the PieLabelStyle CustomSettings to Outside. This should put all the labels around the chart, with lines pointing to the relevant sections.

for VB

Chart1.Series(0)("PieLabelStyle") = "Outside"
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).Area3DStyle.Enable3D = true
Chart1.ChartAreas(0).Area3DStyle.Inclination = 10

for C#

Chart1.Series[0]["PieLabelStyle"] = "Outside";
Chart1.ChartAreas[0].Area3DStyle.Enable3D = true;
Chart1.ChartAreas[0].Area3DStyle.Inclination = 10;
