windowsforms-11205-controls-and-libraries-chart-control-examples-creating-charts-data-representation-how-to-specify-the-appearance-of-the-pie-chart-using-its-pattern-at-runtime.md
The following example specifies the appearance of series labels in the Pie chart using its text pattern.
To accomplish this at runtime, it is necessary to handle the Form.Load event and then transform series labels of the Series object to the corresponding labels of the PieSeriesLabel object.
Finally, specify the pattern for series labels using the SeriesLabelBase.TextPattern property.
