Can't get solid color

[Web Services]

I'm trying to set a solid color in the bar graph but it always gives me a fading color. Any ideas why? Here is my code

            Dim bar As New ChartSeriesItem


            bar.YValue = 1


            bar.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = Drawing.Color.ForestGreen
            mySeries.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Styles.FillType.Solid
            mySeries.AddItem(bar)


            chart.Series.Add(mySeries)

Also, do you know of any way to pick a random color? I.e. where I have drawing.color.forestgreen, I'd just like a random color so each bar is a different color.

[Web Services]

Anyone have any ideas?

Hello,

Have you tried setting bar.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Styles.FillType.Solid as well?

That kind of works, but the bars still have some opacity (transparency) to them. Is there any way to make them completely solid?

Hello Web Services,

We are unable to reproduce the problematic behavior in our local tests. These two snippets both work as expected:

Dim mySeries As New ChartSeries()
Dim bar As New ChartSeriesItem()
bar.YValue = 1

' individual bar appearance
bar.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.ForestGreen
bar.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid

mySeries.AddItem(bar)

chart.Series.Add(mySeries)

Dim mySeries As New ChartSeries()
Dim bar As New ChartSeriesItem()
bar.YValue = 1

' bar series appearance
mySeries.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.ForestGreen
mySeries.Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid

mySeries.AddItem(bar)

chart.Series.Add(mySeries)

Hi Sushobhit,

We have already provided code snippets for two possible solutions that achieve the desired appearance in our previous post.
