How to enable 3d view and indexed mode in WinForms Chart?

To enable the 3D perspective view in a WinForms Charts, set the Series3D property to true. By default, chart points have both X and Y values, which are considered when plotting.

Indexed mode is beneficial when representing data that lacks genuine X-axis values, apart from their positions. By setting the Indexed property to true, you can activate Indexed mode for the chart.

C#

//Assign the X and Y axes
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.DateTime;
this.chartControl1.PrimaryXAxis.DateTimeFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy";
this.chartControl1.PrimaryYAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Double;

//Configure the chart series
ChartSeries chartSeries = new ChartSeries("Sales");
foreach(var data in dataSource)
{
    chartSeries.Points.Add(data.Date, data.YValue);
}

//Enable the Indexed property
this.chartControl1.Indexed = true;

//Enable the Series 3D property
this.chartControl1.Series3D = true;

VB

'Assign the X and Y axes
columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.DateTime
columnChart.PrimaryXAxis.DateTimeFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"
columnChart.PrimaryYAxis.ValueType = ChartValueType.Double

'Configure the chart series
Dim ChartSeries1 As ChartSeries = New ChartSeries("Sales")
For Each salesData In viewModel.DataSource
    ChartSeries1.Points.Add(salesData.DateValue, salesData.Sales)
Next

'Enable the Indexed property
columnChart.Indexed = True

'Enable the Series 3D property
columnChart.Series3D = True
