Chart Series Color Gradient

[Jurgen]

Hello,

I've stumbled upon a "hidden feature" in the radchart i guess :)

I've got some code coloring my chart as follows

 try
            {
                Palette ColorPalette = CreatePalette();
                Chart.SeriesPalette = "";

                int SerieIndex = 0;
                foreach (int ColorIndex in ColorIndexes)
                {
                    Chart.Series[SerieIndex].Appearance.FillStyle.FillType = Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid;
                    Chart.Series[SerieIndex].Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = ColorPalette.Items[ColorIndex].MainColor;
                    Chart.Series[SerieIndex].Appearance.FillStyle.SecondColor = ColorPalette.Items[ColorIndex].SecondColor;

                    SerieIndex++;
                }
            }

Where Colorindexes is a list of integers representing the colors to be used.

When I use the filltype Solid, everything is working fine.
When I use filltype Gradient, it seems that it doesn't show the colors i defined, but the colors of the seriespalette (which in my case is default).
When i use filltype ComplexGradient, i get an alert on the client with an errormessage like "An unexpected error has occured. Please review the innerexception for more details."

This happens only with barcharts. I've never had a problem with line charts. The remaining filltypes are working fine as well.
I'm using the solid filltype now, but a gradient would be nice :)

Hello Jurgen,

Thanks for sharing your experience with RadChart.
 
Indeed, RadChart has a problem when series are used with "ComplexGradient" fill type. We suggest you to consider using one of the other fill types available until a fix is provided.

As for the "Gradient" fill type, our tests did not confirm any broken functionality and the custom colors were applied as expected. You can find attached a simple example page where a customized series is used.

We are sorry for the inconvenience. Your Telerik points have been updated.

Sincerely,
Velin
