The following example positions the label at the upper left corner of the control.

Visual Basic

Dim label As ChartLabel =  New ChartLabel() 
label.Text = "Hello world"
label.HorizontalMargin = 0
label.VerticalMargin = 0
label.TextProps.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left
label.TextProps.VerticalAlign = VerticalAlign.Top
m_Form.nChartControl1.Labels.Add(label)

ChartLabel label = new ChartLabel();
label.Text = "Hello world";
