Series Overview

RadChart has been deprecated since Q3 2014 and is no longer recommended for use, as it does not support modern browsers. We strongly recommend using RadHtmlChart, Telerik's modern client-side charting component. To transition from RadChart to RadHtmlChart, refer to the following migration articles:

Series refers to a series of data points displayed in the chart. The RadChart Series object is a collection of ChartSeriesItem objects. The number of series used depends on the type of chart. A Pie chart type only uses a single series. "Stacked" charts like the Stacked Area chart use several series.

Each ChartSeries object contains a collection of ChartSeriesItem objects that contain the actual data points displayed on the chart. You can add data to a series programmatically at run time, at design time in the Properties Window of Visual Studio, declaratively in the ASP.NET HTML markup, or by binding to a data source.

Some key properties for the ChartSeries are:
