Docking legends inside the chart area in c#

Question

Here is a code for creating 3 charts. I want to dock the legend inside each chart's area but I'm getting legends at the bottom. I used DockedToChartArea but that was of no use. I want to get a legend inside each chart area.

for (int t = 0; t < ARF.Rows.Count; t += 1)
{   
    dv.RowFilter = FilterString1.ToString();

    Chart1.Series.Add("Series1" + t.ToString());
    Chart1.ChartAreas.Add("ChartArea1" + t.ToString());
    Chart1.Series[t].ChartArea = "ChartArea1" + t.ToString();

    if (dtReportDetails.Rows[0].ItemArray[7].ToString() == "Bar")
    {
        Chart1.Series[t].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Column;
        Chart1.Series[t].BorderWidth = 2;
        Chart1.Series[t].ToolTip = "(#VALX,#VALY)";
        Chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1" + t.ToString()].AxisX.Title = "Learning Domains";
        Chart1.ChartAreas["ChartArea1" + t.ToString()].AxisY.Title = "Covered";
        Chart1.Legends.Add("Legend1" + t.ToString());
        Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].Enabled = false;
        // Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].Docking = Docking.Bottom;
        Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].Alignment = System.Drawing.StringAlignment.Center;
        Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].DockedToChartArea = "ChartArea1" + t.ToString();
        // Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].IsDockedInsideChartArea = false;
        Random random = new Random();
        foreach (var item in Graph.Series[0].Points)
        {
            System.Drawing.Color c = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(random.Next(0, 255), random.Next(0, 255), random.Next(0, 255));
            item.Color = c;

         }

         Chart1.Series[t]["PointWidth"] = "0.2";
         Chart1.Series[t]["BarLabelStyle"] = "Center";
         Chart1.Series[t]["PixelPointDepth"] = "99";
         Chart1.Series[t]["DrawingStyle"] = "Cylinder";
     }
     else if (dtReportDetails.Rows[0].ItemArray[7].ToString() == "Pie")
     {
         Chart1.Series[t].ChartType = SeriesChartType.Pie;
         Chart1.Legends.Add("Legend1" + t.ToString());
         Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].Enabled = true;
         Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].Docking = Docking.Bottom;
         Title t2 = new Title();
         t2.Name = "ChartArea1" + t.ToString();
         // Chart1.Legends[t].DockedToChartArea = t2.Name;
         //Chart1.Legends[t].IsDockedInsideChartArea = true;
         //Chart1.Legends["Legend1" + t.ToString()].Alignment = System.Drawing.StringAlignment.Center;
         Chart1.Legends[t].Enabled = true;

Answer 1

Thank you.

if (t == ARF.Rows.Count)
{
    for (int s = 0; s < ARF.Rows.Count; s++)
    {
        Chart1.Legends.Add(new Legend("Legends1" + s.ToString()));
        Chart1.Series["Series1" + s.ToString()].Legend = "Legends1" + s.ToString();
        Chart1.Legends["Legends1" + s.ToString()].DockedToChartArea = "ChartArea1" + s.ToString();
    }
}

Answer 2

You can manually adjust the chat legend position by

Chart1.Legends["Legend1"].Position.Auto = false;
Chart1.Legends["Legend1"].Position = new ElementPosition(x, y, width, hight);

You need to position the element by ElementPosition with all required parameters.

Or you can also check Example here which explains how to adjust legend inside the chart area.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had issues in VB.NET getting the legends to add to each chartarea, until I used the following:

  For k = 1 To NumChartAreas
      chart1.ChartAreas.Add(k - 1)
      chart1.ChartAreas(k - 1).Name = k - 1

      'Add new legend to each chartarea
      chart1.Legends.Add(New Legend("Legends" + k.ToString()))
      chart1.Legends("Legends" + k.ToString()).DockedToChartArea = chart1.ChartAreas(k - 1).Name
      chart1.Legends("Legends" + k.ToString()).Docking = Docking.Right

      'Populate series data for this chartarea
      Cnt = -1
      For j = 1 To NumSeries 'Number of series in this chartarea
          Cnt += 1
          chart1.Series.Add(Cnt)
          For i = 1 To NumDataPoints ' Number of datapoints in this series
              chart1.Series(Cnt).Points.AddXY(i, Rnd())
          Next
          chart1.Series(Cnt).Legend = "Legends" + k.ToString
      Next j
  Next k
