Summary
 This article explains how to place point labels only on certain points or a particular series in your chart.

Description
Chart FX supports both a Point and Series objects. Using these objects, you may configure PointLabels visible for selected elements in the chart: 

Chart1.Point[0,0].PointLabels = true;
Chart1.Series[1].PointLabels = true;

The PointLabelMask property may be used to customize PointLabels, allowing you to even insert Macros that when displayed in the label provide information specifically for that point. Chart FX also supports the GetPointLabel event, which may be captured and provides access to modify the PointLabel String as well (in webform development, this event may only be captured on the client side). Check your API Reference for more information.
