Bar chart bar colors

[M Mayo]

Where/What is the property to set the bar color on a bar chart? I have been hunting around and have tried several different ways to set it in the code behind to no avail.

Hello M Mayo,

You can customize the color via ChartSeries.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor / SecondColor properties for all bar series items, or alternatively via ChartSeriesItem.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor / SecondColor properties for individual series items:

<telerik:RadChart ID="RadChart1" runat="server">
    <Series>
        <telerik:ChartSeries Type="Bar">
            <Appearance>
                <FillStyle MainColor="Green" SecondColor="White" FillType="Gradient">
                </FillStyle>
            </Appearance>
            <Items>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem YValue="10" />
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem YValue="-20">
                    <Appearance>
                        <FillStyle MainColor="Red" FillType="Solid">
                        </FillStyle>
                    </Appearance>
                </telerik:ChartSeriesItem>
                <telerik:ChartSeriesItem YValue="40" />
            </Items>
        </telerik:ChartSeries>
    </Series>
</telerik:RadChart>
