How to add and customize titles for chart control, chart series, chart axes, and chart legend in WinForms Chart?

Essential Chart supports assigning titles to various objects within the Chart Control, such as the Chart, Series, Axes, and Legend. These titles can also be customized in WinForms Charts. 

this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Category;

//Update the X axis title
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.Title = "Year";
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.TitleAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;

this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Double;

//Update the Y axis title
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.Title = "Sales Data";
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.TitleAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;

CategoryAxisDataBindModel dataSeriesModel = new CategoryAxisDataBindModel(dataSource);
dataSeriesModel.CategoryName = "Year";
dataSeriesModel.YNames = new string[] { "Sales" };
ChartSeries chartSeries = new ChartSeries("Sales");
chartSeries.Type = ChartSeriesType.Column;
chartSeries.CategoryModel = dataSeriesModel;

//Update the series title
chartSeries.Text = "Product Sold";
this.chartControl1.Series.Add(chartSeries);

this.chartControl1.Legend.Visible = true;

//Update the legend title
this.chartControl1.Legend.Text = "Products";
this.chartControl1.Legend.Font = new Font("Arial", 8f, FontStyle.Bold);
this.chartControl1.LegendAlignment = ChartAlignment.Center;
this.chartControl1.Legend.Position = ChartDock.Top;
this.chartControl1.LegendsPlacement = ChartPlacement.Outside;

//Update the chart title
ChartTitle title = new ChartTitle();
title.Visible = true;
title.Text = "Sales Performance";
title.Alignment = ChartAlignment.Center;
title.ForeColor = Color.RoyalBlue;
title.Font = new Font("Arial", 14.0f);
title.ShowBorder = true;
title.Border.ForeColor = Color.DarkBlue;
title.Border.Width = 2;
title.Border.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot;
this.chartControl1.Titles.Add(title);

columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Category

'Update the X axis title
columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.Title = "Year"
columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.TitleAlignment = StringAlignment.Center

columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Double

'Update the X axis title
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.Title = "Sales Data"
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.TitleAlignment = StringAlignment.Center

Dim dataSeriesModel = New CategoryAxisDataBindModel(viewModel.PlantDetails)
dataSeriesModel.CategoryName = "Year"
dataSeriesModel.YNames = New String() {"Sales"}
ChartSeries1.CategoryModel = dataSeriesModel

'Update the chart series title
ChartSeries1.Text = "Product Sold"

columnChart.Series.Add(ChartSeries1)

columnChart.Legend.Visible = True

'Update the legend title
columnChart.Legend.Text = "Products"
columnChart.Legend.Font = New Font("Arial", 8.0F, FontStyle.Bold)

columnChart.LegendAlignment = ChartAlignment.Center
columnChart.Legend.Position = ChartDock.Top
columnChart.LegendsPlacement = ChartPlacement.Outside

'Configure the chart title
Dim title = New ChartTitle()
title.Visible = True
title.Text = "Sales Performance"
title.Alignment = ChartAlignment.Center
title.ForeColor = Color.RoyalBlue
title.Font = New Font("Arial", 14.0F)
title.ShowBorder = True
title.Border.ForeColor = Color.DarkBlue
title.Border.Width = 2
title.Border.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot
columnChart.Titles.Add(title)
