add space between .net chart and lable

How can I move the labes down?

I would like to add some space between the chart and the labels. It is possible?

I'm using System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart

This answer will be under the assumption that you are using CustomLabels on the X-axis:

It is possible, but I am not aware of such a setting. But I can offer a pragmatic solution (i.e. a bit of a hack): Namely you reenable the gridtickmarks on the X-axis, but set Color to Transparent, after that you can adjust the distance to the axis by using MajorTickMark.Size (default 1), the tick marks will not be visible:

chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorTickMark.Enabled = true;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorTickMark.LineColor = Color.Transparent;
chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorTickMark.Size = 1;
// You can increase MajorTickMark.Size to increase distance to the axis

And incase someone want to have both visible tickmarks and labels on an axis:

Look into using DataPoint.AxisLabel in your series rather than using CustomLabels on the X-axis. DataPoint.AxisLabel will add a label on the axis for each datapoint. The axis-labels will then have the same distance to the axis as normal interval labels. There is a trick to it, that if the first and last data point in a series have an AxisLabel set the axis interval numbers will be hidden and leave only the axis labels.
