Styling the asp.net charting controls

Using the ASP.Net Chart Controls, which are a subset of the Dundas Chart Controls,

How can I make charts that look like this:

Instead of this:

MS Chart Example

EDIT: I've made some progress, since asking this question. The styling elements that improve the default graph in both Dundas and MSChart are:

Round Corners on the chart container
Background colours and gradients on chart container
Transparency on column colours
Alignment of columns in the x axis (bizarely, MSChart defaults to z axis alignment)
Area 3D wall width

+1 A:

Try setting the Area3DStyle.Enable3D property to true.

More info about the 3D style can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd489232%28VS.100%29.aspx

That's true, but sadly, the default 3d styles are even uglier than the default 2d styles. I'm looking for a way to add transparencies and gradients (as well as 3d). Thanks for that link though. It look's like there's a bit more documentation there.

I have the same problem. I don't understand how to make 3d chart series transparent. Only way to do that I've found is to use SemiTransparent pallete. But that destroys my selected BrightPastel pallete whit I want use. In the examples are 3d charts, which are using BrightPastel too but are also transparent. I haven't discovered way they are doing it.
