The topic explains how to set the custom properties in Section Reports charts. Each chart type in the ActiveReports Chart control contains specific properties that apply to it. You can set the chart type and the correlating series-specific properties in the Series Collection Editor dialog via the Series (Collection) property in the Properties Panel of Visual Studio and in the DataPoint Collection dialog box via the Points (Collection) property in the Series dialog.

Note that 2D Area Charts do not have any custom properties.

3D Area Chart

Custom Properties

The LineBackdrop property gets or sets the backdrop information for the 3D line.
The Thickness property gets or sets the thickness of the 3D line.
The Width property gets or sets the width of the 3D line.

Below is an example of how to set the custom chart properties at run time for a 3D area chart as shown for the first series in the image above.

Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("LineBackdrop") = New GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.Graphics.Backdrop(Color.Red, CType(150, Byte))
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Thickness") = 5.0F
Me.ChartControl1.Series(0).Properties("Width") = 30.0F

this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["LineBackdrop"] = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Chart.Graphics.Backdrop(System.Drawing.Color.Red, ((System.Byte)(150)));
this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Thickness"] = 5f;
this.ChartControl1.Series[0].Properties["Width"] = 30f;

Similarly, the for Stacked Area Chart and Stacked Area 100% Chart, the Width property is the custom property that gets or sets the width of the 3D stacked area.
