Gets or sets a custom data attribute. Specific to the chart type being drawn.

Custom Data Point attributes specified as: AttrName1=Value1, AttrName2=Value2, ...

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property CustomAttributes As String

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
`Dim instance As DataPointAttributes Dim value As String instance.CustomAttributes = value value = instance.CustomAttributes`

C#
public string CustomAttributes {get; set;}

Return Value

A value that represents a custom data attribute.

Example

The following code snippet demonstrates how to set or get custom attributes at run-time.

Visual Basic Copy Code

Visual Basic	Copy Code
`' explode the first pie slice, without removing all other custom attributes For that slice Chart1.Series("Default").Points(0)("Exploded") = "true" ' explode the first pie slice, and delete all other custom attributes for that slice Chart1.Series("Default").Points(0).CustomAttributes = "Exploded=true" ' comma separated custom attributes can be used without causing an error when the comma is preceded by the \ symbol Chart1.Series("Default").CustomAttributes = "PriceUpColor=255\,0\,127"`

' explode the first pie slice, without removing all other custom attributes For that slice
Chart1.Series("Default").Points(0)("Exploded") = "true"

' explode the first pie slice, and delete all other custom attributes for that slice
Chart1.Series("Default").Points(0).CustomAttributes = "Exploded=true"

' comma separated custom attributes can be used without causing an error when the comma is preceded by the \ symbol
Chart1.Series("Default").CustomAttributes = "PriceUpColor=255\,0\,127"

Remarks

Custom data attributes are stored using comma-separated name-value pairs (e.g. AttrName1=Value1, AttrName2=Value2, etc. ), and are specific to the type of chart being produced. For example, only pie and doughnut charts use the"Exploded" attribute.

Custom attributes can be applicable for DataPoint and/or Series objects, and how they are implemented depends on the custom attribute. For a listing of custom attributes, the chart types that they apply to and how they are implemented see the Custom Chart Attributes topic.

A single custom attribute (one name-value pair) can be set or retrieved by using an indexer instead of explicitly specifying the "CustomAttributes" property.

If the CustomAttribute value contains a comma, each comma must be preceded by a '\' character. This is useful when an RGB color value is used.

Custom attribute names are case-sensitive.
