Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property SkinStyle As BorderSkinStyle

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
`Dim instance As BorderSkinAttributes Dim value As BorderSkinStyle instance.SkinStyle = value value = instance.SkinStyle`

C#
public BorderSkinStyle SkinStyle {get; set;}

Return Value

A BorderSkinStyle enumeration value that determines if a skin is used, and if so the style of the skin. The default is BorderSkinStyle.None.

Example

The following sample specifies a border skin that uses a thick frame in the Page_Load event. We also set the chart title, which will be displayed within the skin's frame.

Visual Basic	Copy Code
`Imports Dundas.Charting.WinControl ... Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load 'specify skin style that uses a thick frame, and a title for the chart Chart1.BorderSkin.SkinStyle = BorderSkinStyle.FrameTitle1 Chart1.Title = "My Chart" End Sub`

Remarks

There are two types of border skin styles: those that do not use frames (e.g. BorderSkinStyle.Raised) and those that use a frame (e.g. BorderSkinStyle.FrameTitle8).

Setting FrameXXX properties for border skins that do not use frames will have no effect.

Border styles with frames will display the chart title differently. Borders with a "thin" frame (e.g. BorderSkinStyle.FrameThin1) display the chart title beneath the top-horizontal section of the frame. Thick frames (e.g. BorderSkinStyle.FrameTitle1), however, will display the chart title within the top-horizontal section of the frame (see Figure 1 below).
