How to customize axes grid lines in Winforms Chart control?

In WinForms Chart control, grid lines help visually separate axis intervals for better readability. You can customize grid lines on both primary X-axis and primary Y-axis using the following properties.

• DrawGrid - Enables or disables drawing of grid lines on the chart axis.
• ForeColor - Sets the foreground color of the grid lines.
• BackColor - Sets the background color of the grid lines.
• DashStyle - Defines the dash pattern for the grid lines (e.g., solid, dash, dot).
• PenType - Specifies the pen type used to draw the grid lines.
• Width - Determines the thickness of the grid lines.

this.chartControl1 = new ChartControl();
. . .
// Primary X axis grid line customization.
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.GridLineType.ForeColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond;

this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.GridLineType.Width = 5;

// Disables the Primary Y axis grid line.
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.DrawGrid = false;

Me.ChartControl1 = New ChartControl()
. . .
' Primary X axis grid line customization.
Me.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.GridLineType.ForeColor = Color.BlanchedAlmond
Me.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.GridLineType.Width = 5

' Disables the Primary Y axis grid line.
Me.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.DrawGrid = false
