            LineSeries3.BorderColor = Color.Green;
            LineSeries3.BorderColor2 = Color.Green;
            LineSeries3.BorderColor3 = Color.Green;
            LineSeries3.BorderColor4 = Color.Green;

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for writing.

In order to change the data points color, you can set the LineSeries.BackColor property:

LineSeries lineSeries = new LineSeries();

lineSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(20, "Jan"));

lineSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(22, "Apr"));

lineSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(12, "Jul"));

lineSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(19, "Oct"));

this.radChartView1.Series.Add(lineSeries);

lineSeries.PointSize = new SizeF(10, 10);

lineSeries.BorderColor = Color.Red;

lineSeries.BackColor = Color.Aqua;

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Regards,
Dess

Hello Jeremy,

Thank you for writing back.

In order to customize the labels, feel free to use the RadChartView.LabelFormatting event:

private void radChartView1_LabelFormatting(object sender, ChartViewLabelFormattingEventArgs e)

{

    e.LabelElement.ForeColor = Color.Lime;

    e.LabelElement.BackColor = Color.White;

    e.LabelElement.BorderColor = Color.Black;

}

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
