Remarks

A Series object represents a data series and is stored in the SeriesCollection class.

A Series stores DataPoint objects using the DataPointCollection class. It also stores attributes of the data series. For example, a data series has a color attribute, background image attribute, background gradient attribute, and so forth.

The DataPoint objects that belong to a series also have their own attributes. Normally, if the same attribute is set for a data point and the series to which it belongs, the data point attribute has precedence.

A series is not necessarily plotted on a chart; it can store data point values that are used to perform a calculation from which another series is created and then plotted. For example, Series A, which is plotted, may be the result of adding Series B and Series C data points together, though neither of these series is plotted. In order to draw a Series object, the ChartArea property must be set to the name of the ChartArea object used to plot the series.

When a series is created, it is automatically assigned to the ChartArea object named "Default", or to the first available chart area in the chart area collection if the "Default" object does not exist.

To disable the display of a series, set its ChartArea property to a zero-length string.

The ChartType property determines the type of chart that will be used to plot this series, if it is drawn.
