To show the title in RadChartView you need to set the ShowTitle property to true (by default is false) and also to set the desired title text in the Title property:

Showing Title

this.radChartView1.Title = "OS Platform statistics Q1";
this.radChartView1.ShowTitle = true;

The title can be moved to all four sides of the chart using the TitleLocation property. Also, you can access the title element, which allows you to set various options:

this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitleElement.TextOrientation = Orientation.Vertical;
this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitlePosition = TitlePosition.Left;
this.radChartView1.ChartElement.TitleElement.FlipText = true;
