Hello,

The labels depend on the LabelType of the axis, set through the AxisSettings.LabelType property. The XLabels property is used only for custom labels, so if the labels show the bar data or the auto scale this property will be an empty list.

Additionally, XLabels holds the labels for all bar series and it is a list that holds lists with labels. This means that if you want to get the first label of the first series you must use:

IList labelsArray0 = BarChart1.XLabels[0] as IList;
string label1 = labelsArray0[1].ToString();
 

The following code gets the values shown as labels at the axis in various AxisType scenarios:

 /* if labels are custom-specified, then the labels for each bar series is given as
 * an array in the XLabels or YLabels property, which is also a list */
if (BarChart1.XAxisSettings.LabelType == MindFusion.Charting.AxisLabelType.CustomText)
{
	IList labelsArray0 = BarChart1.XLabels[0] as IList;
	string label1 = labelsArray0[1].ToString();

}
/* if the labels show the data of the bar then they show meaningful numbers only for the
 * X-axis in horizontal bars and the Y-axis for vertical bars */
if (BarChart1.YAxisSettings.LabelType == MindFusion.Charting.AxisLabelType.ChartData)
{
	IList dataArray0 = BarChart1.Data[0] as IList;
	double number1 = (double)dataArray0[1];

}
/* if the labels show the chart data, then for the X-axis in vertical bars these
 * are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3... count_of_bars - 1. The same is true for horizontal
 * bars and Y-labels */
if (BarChart1.XAxisSettings.LabelType == MindFusion.Charting.AxisLabelType.ChartData)
{
	double number1 = 1.0;
}
/* if the labels show the auto scale you can caluclate them based on the start value of
 * the axis and the interval. If AxisSettings.MinValue and AxisSettings.AxisDelta are
 * not set there is currently no way to get them */
if (BarChart1.XAxisSettings.LabelType == MindFusion.Charting.AxisLabelType.AutoScale)
{
	double number2 =
		BarChart1.XAxisSettings.MinValue + 2 * BarChart1.XAxisSettings.AxisDelta;
} 

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
