Align two chart areas windows forms - c#

I have a windows forms application that displays a chart compose by two chart areas, one for price/dates and the second displays volume/price, both should get the same amount of datapoints to draw in each chart area, the issue I have at the moment is that both charts are not aligned vertically so they are not very clear for the user, I added the following properties to volumen chart area:
volumeChartArea.AlignWithChartArea = CHART_AREA_PRICES;
volumeChartArea.AlignmentStyle = AreaAlignmentStyles.All;
volumeChartArea.AlignmentOrientation = AreaAlignmentOrientations.Vertical;
But they still don't look correct, what could it be the solution to fix this issue?
Many thanks in advance.

something like this maybe?
if (this.chrtMain.ChartAreas.Count > 0)
{
ca.AlignmentOrientation = AreaAlignmentOrientations.Vertical;
ca.AlignWithChartArea = this.chrtMain.ChartAreas[0].Name;
}
All chart areas will be aligned as they are added this way.

How to line up windows C# charts

I have multiple charts in my form and they can have different Y-axis labels. But when I add those different axis labels this happens. I haven't found any option to set a margin or something so that the graphs will be aligned.
Every graph has the same location and size settings.
chart.Size = new Size(1000, 190);
chart.Location = new Point(0, 0);
Anybody got a solution?
If all chart areas are in the same chart, you can use the AlignWithChartArea-Property.
chartArea1.AlignWithChartArea = "ChartArea2";

How to display a chart in C# that has no data points?

I'm making a candlestick chart in C# for a bitcoin trading helper. When the form loads, the chart is just an empty white space because there are no data points initially. Is there any way to display the grid lines and the axes when there are no data points? Thank you!
EDIT: A data point is added ~1 minute after loading, so aesthetically I think it would look better to have the empty grid lines and axes than to simply hide the chart altogether.
This is all I've added to the load method:
chart1.Titles.Add("Candlestick Chart");
//chart grid lines colors
chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorGrid.Enabled = false;
chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.MajorGrid.LineColor = Color.Gray;
I think you can add empty point for the Chart series data points
chart3.Series[0].Points.Add();
chart3.Series[0].Points[0].IsEmpty = true;

how to plot multiple y-axis in chart control

I am creating a web application using c#. I have four values(or series) volt,current,wh and temperature which I will have to plot in a chart control against time which(time) will be shown in x-axis. All things done correctly. But the range of the values are different like one is in range of more than 1000,another lies between 0 to 10,another shows negetive value,etc. I want to create different y-axis for each series.I had created two y-axis which is a property of series(YAxisType),primary and secondary. Is it possible to create multiple y-axis?I had searched in google but didn't get any proper answer. Please help me.
You can only use 2 y-axis(primary and secondary)
But you can create a few chart areas within one chart control
Or you can add a button that will hide one chart control and show another(with others 2 axis)

MS column chart showing arrows

Anybody can guide me why MS Column Chart is showing arrows. When I am displaying label values then start displaying it.
Please the below snap:
MSChart uses SmartLabel Technology to display labels.
There are two ways you can get rid of your lines.
Disable the SmartLabel Technology
series.SmartLabelStyle.Enabled = False;
But you may not like the end result as the labels might collide and your chart will become unreadable
Or you can selectively do this
s.SmartLabelStyle.CalloutStyle = LabelCalloutStyle.None;
s.SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle = LineAnchorCapStyle.None;
s.SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineColor = Color.Transparent;
But again it might confuse end user and the label might not be near the correct datapoint/bar
More Information here

http://support2.dundas.com/OnlineDocumentation/WebChart2005/UsingSmartLabels.html
This line is enough for removing arrow sign in chart.
series.SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineColor = Color.Transparent;
Check the below code its worked for me
chart1.Series[0].SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle = LineAnchorCapStyle.None;

how to change the direction of X-axis label in ms charts

Hi I am using Ms chart control in winforms application for displaying values according to dates
I need to change the x-axis label values(Dates) direction horizantal to vertical
I have searched so many properties but i did not find any solution for this.
Any one help me on this problem
Many Thanks ....
As I understand your question - you are asking how to rotate the chart label to display vertically.
You can rotate the x-axis label as follows:
chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Angle = -90;
This assumes you have associated your series with the first chart area, which is the default without modification when using the Winforms designer.
The following images shows how the chart would look before the code above is applied, the second image shows how it appears after the code is applied.
Let me know if this is not what you are trying to do and I will post an updated answer.
Before rotation
After Rotation
Edit: Another answer added after my initial post mentions in certain situations it may be important to set chartArea1.AxisX.IsLabelAutoFit = false;
If you have not already done so, get the chart samples from microsoft:
http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/mschart
Then check the section on Labels
Chart Features > Labels
To answer your question directly, set the angle in LabelStyle, and don't forget to disable autofit
chartArea1.AxisX.IsLabelAutoFit = false;
chartArea1.AxisX.LabelStyle.Angle = 90;
