Printed X-Axis label has black background

[Matthew Hile]

VS 2010, Q2 2012 reports. I have a chart in my report when it is printed the X-axis label (as well as the item labels on both axes) has a black background. The Y axis label which seems to be formatted identically, does not have a black background. This ONLY happens when printing directly to a printer. On the screen and when generating a PDF this black background does not appear. 

I have been setting the fills to all use the transparent color to see if that would do anything but no no avail. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks, 

Matthew

Hi Matthew,

Although we've answered your inquiry long ago, we're now posting the answer here as well, so that others who have encountered this issue could find it. To resolve this weird problem, please place the following code snippet for the chart in your report constructor after InitializeComponent:

Copy Code

chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Dimensions.Margins = new ChartMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.LabelAppearance.Dimensions.Paddings = new ChartPaddings(0, 0, 0, 0);
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.Border.Color = Color.White;
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.Border.Width = 0.0f;
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.FillStyle.MainColor = Color.White;
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.FillStyle.FillType = FillType.Solid;
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.Dimensions.Margins = new ChartMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
chart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.TextAppearance.Dimensions.Paddings = new ChartPaddings(0, 0, 0, 0);
