How to add multiple Chart titles in WinForms?

The WinForms Chart control supports multiple titles. Add multiple titles at design time via the ChartControl’s Titles property (opens the Titles Collection Editor to add, remove, and customize) or at runtime using the ChartTitle class. Each title can be positioned, ordered, and styled independently.

this.chartControl1 = new ChartControl();
. . .

// Specifying Chart Title
ChartTitle title1 = new ChartTitle();
title1.Text = "Sales Dashboard";
title1.Position = ChartDock.Top;

ChartTitle title2 = new ChartTitle();
title2.Text = "2025";
title2.Position = ChartDock.Top;

// Adding into Chart control
this.chartControl1.Titles.Add(title1);
this.chartControl1.Titles.Add(title2);

Me.ChartControl1 = New ChartControl()
. . .

' Specifying Chart Title
Dim title1 As ChartTitle = New ChartTitle()
title1.Text = "Sales Dashboard"
title1.Position = ChartDock.Top

Dim title2 As ChartTitle = New ChartTitle()
title2.Text = "2025"
title2.Position = ChartDock.Top

' Adding into Chart Control
Me.ChartControl1.Titles.Add(title1)
Me.ChartControl1.Titles.Add(title2)

Output

To display the border of the title, the ShowBorder property is used. The border's forecolor, dash style, and width can also be modified.

// Customizing Title
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].Alignment = ChartAlignment.Center;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].BackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].ForeColor = Color.Crimson;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].ShowBorder = true;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].Border.ForeColor = Color.DarkGray;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].Border.DashStyle = DashStyle.Solid;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].Border.Width = 1f;
this.chartControl1.Titles[1].Font = new Font("Segoe UI", 12.0f, FontStyle.Italic);

' Customizing Title
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).Alignment = ChartAlignment.Center
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).BackColor = Color.AliceBlue
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).ForeColor = Color.Crimson
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).ShowBorder = True
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).Border.ForeColor = Color.DarkGray
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).Border.DashStyle = DashStyle.Solid
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).Border.Width = 1.0F
Me.ChartControl1.Titles(1).Font = New Font("Segoe UI", 12.0F, FontStyle.Italic)
