};

return View();
}
public class LineChartData
{
public DateTime xValue;
public double yValue;
public double yValue1;
}Position and Alignment
By using the Position property, you can position the legend at left, right, top or bottom of the chart. The legend is positioned at the bottom of the chart, by default.

};
ViewBag.dataSource = chartData;
return View();
}
public class ColumnChartData
{
public string country;
public double gold;
public double silver;
public double bronze;
}Custom position helps you to position the legend anywhere in the chart using x, y coordinates.

}Legend Reverse
You can reverse the order of the legend items by using the Reverse property. By default, legend for the first series in the collection will be placed first.

}Customization
To change the legend icon shape, you can use LegendShape property in the Series. By default legend icon shape is SeriesType.

}Legend Size
By default, legend takes 20% - 25% of the chart’s height horizontally, when it is placed on top or bottom position and 20% - 25% of the chart’s width vertically, when placed on left or right position of the chart. You can change this default legend size by using the Width and Height property of the LegendSettings.

}Paging for Legend
Paging for Legend
Paging will be enabled by default, when the legend items exceeds the legend bounds. You can view each legend items by navigating between the pages using navigation buttons.

}Legend Text Wrap
When the legend text exceed the container, the text can be wrapped by using the textWrap property. End user can also wrap the legend text based on the maximumLabelWidth property.

Series Selection on Legend
By default, legend click enables you to collapse the series visibility. On other hand, if you need to select a series through legend click, disable the ToggleVisibility.

}Collapsing Legend Item
By default, series name will be displayed as legend. To skip the legend for a particular series, you can give empty string to the series name.

}Arrow Page Navigation
By default, the page number will be enabled while legend paging. Now, you can disable that page number and also you can get left and right arrows for page navigation. You have to set false value to EnablePages to get this support.
