    Hi,

    I am not using any skin for the chart control. I want to assign the colors of the chart bars dynamically based on some condition. I am doing it as follows in the code behind. But I want to read these color codes from the CSS class instead of harcoding it. But I dont see any property that can be used to assing the CSSClass for the bars. How can I do it?


    e.SeriesItem.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.

    ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#4e6a99");

    Hello Sub,

    Generally RadChart produces a image and does not output HTML markup as other controls do thus you cannot style its elements via CssClass attributes. You will need to stick to the manual customization of the FillStyle as you have already started.

    Thanks for the reply. I am wondering why do you still have the properties such as Skin, SkinsOverridesStyle etc exposed in the Chart control if we can not apply any skins or css styles?

    Hi Sub,

    RadChart exposes such properties as it allows appearance customizations as well -- they are not based on CssClasses but on setting various properties across the control elements (you can then serialize and deserialize these modifications in xml skins for future use).

    You can find more information on chart styling in the online help here (topics in Controls >> RadChart >> Styling RadCharts folder).
