Ben - Usually a good question will get a good answer. If you want, you could edit your question so that it shows some code snippets where you might be having the problem or you could be a little more descriptive with your question. Just a thought. ;)

I do not have any coding to upload for this question, thats what i'm looking for. And I simply just need to change a property of the chart(Color property) using code

The answer is clear enough to me -- I know the universal answer which does not need clarification. Want to see it?

There is one universal way. The question implies that you know how to do "non-programmatically". The thing is: there is nothing which is done "not dynamically", "not programmatically", "not during run time".

So, what happens is: you probably know how to do it using the Designer. But the Designer does not do anything except writing some code for your. Look at you form's node in the Solution Explorer. There is a auto-generated C# file in a child node. This is what was generated by the Designer and what will be called from your form's constructor during run time.

Just open this file and learn how to modify the property you need, as well as everything else.

Good to know, my 5, but I know more universal way which maybe doable without documentation.
