title: Column Chart - Set string labels for X axis
body: <p>This must be trivial, but I cannot find anything on the net.</p>
  
  <p>I have a simple datatable dtChart with 3 columns (string, int32, int32) attached as datasource to Chart1  (to a two series) and set the ints for YValueMembers. The chart displays well, so far so good, but some scale numbers bellow columns.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Chart1.ChartAreas(0).AxisX.LabelStyle.Interval = 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Displays labels on all columns, but with zeros.
  When I try to set XValueMember to the first string column from dtCharts (either 1 or both series):</p>
  
  <pre><code>Chart1.Series(0).XValueMember = "ProcesName"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>... then the painting of chart faisl (red rectangle with cross appears)
  I tried this too:</p>
  
  <p>Chart1.Series(0).AxisLabel = "#VALX"</p>
  
  <p>...with no progress.</p>
  
  <p>How do I set labels for the X axis in a data-bound chart?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>: By the way, I know I can go throu the points collection and set the labels separately for each of them, but I would consider that a workaround, not a solution. There must be a direct way to use bound column, a sort-of "DisplayMember".</p>
