How to prevent Overlapping Pie Labels?

Question

I'm using the Chart Controls in VS2008 that is MSChart Control. Can anyone please help with any advice as to how to avoid overlapping my pie labels? I can't use "Outside" labels because it makes the pie so tiny.
I have tried Smart Label properties as shown below.

C#

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.Enabled = True
Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.AllowOutsidePlotArea = LabelOutsidePlotAreaStyle.No

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineAnchorCapStyle = LineAnchorCapStyle.None

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineColor = Color.Red

Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutLineWidth = 1
Chart1.Series("Default").SmartLabelStyle.CalloutStyle = LabelCalloutStyle.None

which doesn't seem to make any difference.....

Please help me..

Solution 1

As far as i know the only solution to prevent this would be to use a coulor coded chart key instead.
