Chart won't paint MarkedZone borders

[Aaron Abdis]

Hi all... I am trying to paint borders on marked zones, and leave the fills empty, to basically just show the threshold borders (max and min) for my series.

I am creating the marked zones programatically, and it is shading my graph, but it won't paint the borders, and I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Here is my code:

        With chart.PlotArea
            .MarkedZones.Clear()
            Dim mz As TC.ChartMarkedZone
            For Each dr As DataRow In Thresholds.Rows
                mz = New TC.ChartMarkedZone(CStr(dr("NAME")))
                With mz
                    .ValueStartY = dr.NullOf("MINVAL", min)
                    .ValueEndY = dr.NullOf("MAXVAL", max)

                    .Appearance.Border.Width = 2
                    .Appearance.Border.Color = Drawing.Color.Red
                    .Appearance.Border.PenStyle = Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid
                    .Appearance.Border.Visible = True

                    .Label.TextBlock.Text = .Name
                    .Label.TextBlock.Visible = True

                    .Visible = True
                End With
                .MarkedZones.Add(mz)
            Next
        End With

And here is a the image that is being rendered. As you can see, it is adding the zones, and adding the labels, but it is refusing to paint the borders. (Ultimately they'd have different colors, but just all Red for now for testing.

I am using version 2009.03.1208.35.

Hello Aaron Abdis,

I did test this scenario and the chart painted the red borders for me. A possible reason for not painting them could be RadChart.SkinsOverrideStyles property set to true. In this case, the settings from the skin will be used. Please, make sure this property is not set to true.
