You can display the message in `Label` or `div`, why would you want it in the chart ? — V4Vendetta, Dec 27 '12 at 09:23

Try this :

protected void ChartExample_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // If there is no data in the series, show a text annotation
    if(ChartExample.Series[0].Points.Count == 0)
    {
        System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.TextAnnotation annotation = 
            new System.Web.UI.DataVisualization.Charting.TextAnnotation();
        annotation.Text = "No data for this period";
        annotation.X = 5;
        annotation.Y = 5;
        annotation.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 12);
        annotation.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        ChartExample.Annotations.Add(annotation);
    }
}

Thanks
