How to change my chart control background color

Question

This is my control:

        seriesTraffic = new Series();
        seriesTraffic.Color = Color.Black;
        seriesTraffic.ChartType = SeriesChartType.Spline;
        seriesTraffic.BorderWidth = 2;
        chart1.Series.Add(seriesTraffic);
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorGrid.LineColor = Color.White;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.MajorGrid.LineColor = Color.White;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LabelStyle.Enabled = false;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.LabelStyle.Enabled = false;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Minimum = 10;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.Maximum = 10;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Minimum = 10;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Maximum = 10;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Interval = 5;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisY.Interval = 1;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.IsStartedFromZero = true;
        chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.IntervalOffsetType = DateTimeIntervalType.Number;

        var chartArea1 = new System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.ChartArea();
        chart1 = new System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.Chart();

        chart1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
        chartArea1.AxisY.Enabled = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.AxisEnabled.True;
        chartArea1.AxisY.MinorGrid.Enabled = true;

        chartArea1.AxisX.Enabled = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.AxisEnabled.True;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.Enabled = System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.AxisEnabled.True;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.MinorGrid.Enabled = true;

        chartArea1.AxisX.LineColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.LineColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.LineWidth = 1;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.MinorGrid.Interval = 0.25D;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.MinorGrid.IntervalOffset = -0.01D;
        chartArea1.AxisX2.MinorGrid.LineColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

        chartArea1.AxisY.LineColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
        chartArea1.AxisY.LineWidth = 1;
        chartArea1.AxisY.Maximum = 2D;
        chartArea1.AxisY.MaximumAutoSize = 100F;
        chartArea1.AxisY.Minimum = -2D;
        chartArea1.AxisY.MinorGrid.Interval = 0.25D;
        chartArea1.AxisY.MinorGrid.IntervalOffset = -0.01D;
        chartArea1.AxisY.MinorGrid.LineColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

        chart1.ChartAreas.Add(chartArea1);

i want to change my control style to similar to this:

i try to change BackSecondaryColor, BorderColor but it has no effect. i try to change BackSecondaryColor, BorderColor but it has no effect. i try to change BackSecondaryColor, BorderColor but it has no effect. i try to change BackSecondaryColor, BorderColor but it has no effect.

Solution

To change the background color of the chart, you will need to change the BackColor property of the ChartArea.

chart.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].BackColor = Color.Black;
chart.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisX.MajorGrid.LineColor = Color.LawnGreen;
chart.ChartAreas["ChartArea1"].AxisY.MajorGrid.LineColor = Color.LawnGreen;
