# Changing C1OrgChart Orientation

## Content



[C1OrgChart](/componentone/api/wpf/online-orgchart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.OrgChart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.OrgChart.C1OrgChart.html) can be displayed with the chart flowing in either a horizontal and vertical direction. You can set the property either in XAML or in the Properties window.

```auto
<c1:C1OrgChart x:Name="_orgChart" Orientation="Horizontal">
```
