Adding series to LegendItem

I want to use chart.Series[0].LegendText = "New Sheet"; in LegendItem

something like

LegendItem Newseries = new LegendItem();

LegendItem newcell = new LegendCell(LegendCellType.Text, "New sheet = " + chart.Series[0].LegendText, ContentAlignment.BottomCenter); //Error

Accepted answer
Could you just add the items in the second Legend block to the first Legend object so you'd just have the one Legend object?

Failing that I think you'd need to try and use the Legend.Position property to get the first Legend on top of the second.

I used the code but the series line (redline which represents the series was not visible)

But as you said I used Legends.Position property which solved the problem

Using the font and colors from the previous code, I'd try:

LegendItem Newseries = new LegendItem();
LegendCell newcell = new LegendCell(LegendCellType.Text, "New sheet = " + chart1.Series[0].LegendText, ContentAlignment.BottomCenter);
newcell.Font = new Font("Georgia", 16);
newcell.ForeColor = Color.Orange;
newcell.BackColor = Color.Black;
Newseries.Cells.Add(newcell);
