MSChart, asp.net, naming y axis? (I'm no good at charts in general)

So the code attached, the example from the documentation, will create a chart and plot 8 columns of data with the corresponding values. However, the y axis just says 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. How do I make it say different stuff? I don't even know what to call this so I can't effectively google it (though I have tried for days). In my opinion it should be like Series.Points.Addy(value, "name"), but I guess my opinion doesn't matter much to Microsoft :)

I actually want something basically identical to the attached image. I created this by using databindxy, but I'd rather do it manually for flexibility reasons...

' Create new data series and set it's visual attributes
    Dim series As New Series("Spline")
    series.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Spline
    series.BorderWidth = 3
    series.ShadowOffset = 2
 
    ' Populate new series with data
    series.Points.AddY(67)
    series.Points.AddY(57)
    series.Points.AddY(83)
    series.Points.AddY(23)
    series.Points.AddY(70)
    series.Points.AddY(60)
    series.Points.AddY(90)
    series.Points.AddY(20)
 
    ' Add series into the chart's series collection
    Chart1.Series.Add(series)

This is what there in MSDN for VB

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3ks53324(VS.71).aspx

With Me.chtSales.Plot
      .Axis(MSChart20Lib.VtChAxisId.VtChAxisIdX).AxisTitle.Text = "Year"
      .Axis(MSChart20Lib.VtChAxisId.VtChAxisIdY).AxisTitle.Text = "Millions of $"
   End With
