Currenlty Series like Bubble, Bar, Column, Donut, Pie and Candlestick do not expose any appearance properties for the Series border. Expose appearance border properties like width, dashtype, color and opacity. Temporary workaround for managing the border appearance: Javascript: <script language="javascript"> function pageLoad() { var chart = $find("RadHtmlChart1"); chart._chartObject.options.series[0].border = { width: 2, color: "black", dashType: "dash", opacity: 0.2 } chart.repaint(); } </script> ASPX: <telerik:RadHtmlChart ID="RadHtmlChart1" runat="server" Width="600" Height="400"> <PlotArea> <Series> <telerik:ColumnSeries> <SeriesItems> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="30" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="10" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="20" /> </SeriesItems> </telerik:ColumnSeries> </Series> </PlotArea> </telerik:RadHtmlChart>
