I think I need to change the default chart control properties but could not find any reference material in doing so. Can someone please provide an example to help me do so. Thank you in advance!

Hello Richard168,

Thanks for your post.

The TextFormat is created in line 160. You can change the font size there.

TextFormat textFormat = new TextFormat(Globals.DirectWriteFactory,
    chartControl.Properties.LabelFont.Family.ToString(), (float)chartControl.Properties.LabelFont.Size[B]*5[/B]);

We look forward to assisting.
