mySeries.Name = "Test Series"; 
Annotation a = new Annotation(); 
a.DataSource = mySeries; 
a.Label.Text = "%Name"; 
Chart.Annotations.Add(a); 
  
// When this chart renders, the annotation will read 'Test Series'.

[Visual Basic]

Dim mySeries As New Series()

mySeries.Name = "Test Series"

Dim a As New Annotation()

a.DataSource = mySeries

a.Label.Text = "%Name"
