  if(checkBoxSales.Checked)
  {     
     this.chartControl1.Series["Sales"].Points[0].LegendText = "";

Visual BasicCopy Code
Private Sub Detail1_Format(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Detail1.Format
   If (CheckBoxSales.Checked) Then
       Me.ChartControl1.Series("Sales").Points(0).LegendText = ""
   Else
       Me.ChartControl1.Series("Sales").Points(0).LegendText = "Twenty"
   End If
End Sub

Remarks

The LegendText property applies to both the Series and DataPoint objects. The LegendText property is treated as a {Value} by default when the data point appears in the legend and the LegendText property is set to an empty string. The {Value} is the original point value of the data point. 

To render the x value for the data points in the legend for a one figure chart (i.e., funnel, pyramid, or doughnut), the LegendText property must be set to {Name}.
