Example

The following example adds a new data item to the legend and enables the backplane.

Visual Basic

Dim legend As Legend = CType((ChartControl.Legends(0)), Legend)

legend.Mode = LegendMode.Manual

Dim item As LegendDataItem =  New LegendDataItem() 

item.Text = "Enable item back plane"

legend.Data.TextProps.Backplane.Visible = True

legend.Data.Array.Add(item)

Legend legend = (Legend)(ChartControl.Legends[0]);

legend.Mode = LegendMode.Manual;

LegendDataItem item = new LegendDataItem();

item.Text = "Enable item back plane";

legend.Data.TextProps.Backplane.Visible = true;

legend.Data.Array.Add(item);
