ASP.NET Chart Control Formatting

Question

I need help trying to style the asp.net chart control. I have a doughnut chart that I need to style:

• The background of the doughnut to be transparent so the underlying gradient shows through.
• I'd like to move the legend to the bottom below the chart ... that way I can make a tall/thin chart

This is what it currently looks like. And I haven't found the right combinations of settings to make it happen. Thanks!

Answer 1

Try the following:

1 - Transparency

Chart.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].BackColor = Color.Transparent;

2 - Legend

// Set legend docking
Chart.Legends["Default"].Docking = LegendDocking.Bottom;
