Line Chart Color Changes not updating

[Matt]

I have tried to set the changes to my line chart programatically.  This is the code I have edited inside of my .cs file.  I pushed through the changes, but nothing has shown up on my work.  I am guessing that these strings do not change the colors of the lines, then?


Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries chartSeries1 = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries();
Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries chartSeries2 = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries();
Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries chartSeries3 = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries();
Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries chartSeries4 = new Telerik.Reporting.Charting.ChartSeries();
chartSeries1.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
chartSeries2.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
chartSeries3.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
chartSeries4.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;

Hi Matt,

The colors would never be applied as you're setting them to new series items instead to the ones defined in your chart.
To apply color to your chart series items, you should access them accordingly e.g.:

this.chart1.Series[0].Items[0].Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

This is the new snipet I created based off of your response.  The "Series1" is causing an error.  If I remove the "1" after Series, then "Items1" turns into an error.

 

 

 

this.chart2.Series1.Items1.Appearance.FillStyle.MainColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue

Matt, I get you're not a big fan of "find 10 differences" games? There is an obvious difference in your snippet compared to Teleriks and unfortunately the difference does not speak good about your dev skills.

This is the point I have made.  I am not a developer.  I have no development skills what so ever.  Be that as it may, my PM is expecting me to be able to do these things, even after explaining to him that I do not have the necessary skill sets to do this.  So I am trying to get help wherever I can with this thing, as I am also not being allowed to get the necessary training to manipulate this program.
