Data Point Label Is Not Showing On First Bar Of Bar Chart using MS Chart

Question

i am using microsoft chart in asp.net and I have a simple column chart with point labels, however, the first data point is not showing for the bar closest to the Y axis. I have five year of data points in the column chart but always the one that is closest at the Y axis is now showing and the rest is showing. I am not sure what property i need to set in order to show all data points. thanks. here is the code for the chart

<asp:chart id="Chart1" runat="server" BackColor="#D3DFF0" Palette="Chocolate" 
                            ImageType="Png" ImageUrl="~/TempImages/ChartPic_#SEQ(300,3)" Width="861px"

Hard to tell without the code, but make sure the data point is within the Chart Area's limit's.

chart.ChartAreas[index].AxisY.Minimum = something_lower_than_lowest_Y_value_in_your_data_points

Also, check the same for X axis, as from experience, MScharts tends to mix both.

Edit:

I've only dealt with MSCharts on c#, so forgive me for the lack of helpful input. From what I've gather from your code though, it seems to be mainly appearance. I think you need something like this inside the ChartArea tag :

 <AxisX Minimum="-1">        
</AxisX>

My guess is still that you're starting your series at a point lower than the axis, so it doesn't render the first bar.
