Removing Bar Border in Bar and Column Graphs

Description

I want to remove the darker, solid border around bars in a graph with a bar series. The border is more visible in the HTML5 Report Viewer and overlaps the grid lines. The bars use a semi-transparent yellow color palette, which allows grid lines to show through. The goal is to eliminate the darker border while maintaining the semi-transparent fill effect.

Solution

To remove the darker border around the bars:

1. Select the graph in the Report Designer tool of choice.
2. Expand the Series property.
3. Locate and expand the DataPointStyle property of the GraphSeries.
4. Set the LineWidth property to 0pt.

This removes the darker border around the bars, ensuring they appear without overlapping grid lines.
