Hii.. I'm generating graphical report using SSRS 2005 charts. I have a requirement to change the color and style of each of the series in the chart dynamically. I'm storing the color hash code/name and style name for each line in the chart. The different line styles are dot, dash, dot dash etc. If changing line style is not possible, atleast is it possible to change the marker shape of each of the series seperatley. Could you please help me? Thanks in advance. :)

Hi,

we can keep any one available style as marker( square, circle , cross , dimond , triangle ) .Reporting services don’t have option to keep separate markers per each line like excel.

Third party components are giving this option ( http://softwarefx.com/SfxSqlProducts/cfxReportingServices/comparison.aspx).

Thanks

Hi guys.. :)
I have solved this problem... its a bit of a workaround.. i am passing the color name and the line type constant name (dashed, dotted and solid) as fields from the dataset and assigned to the corresponding property using expressions... thanks both of u..
