Yeah I tried looking at that but it is in vb. I tried converting what I saw to c # but couldnt really get it to do what I wanted

I use the same thing but there never appears to save the image in that folder that I created. I made a folder called ~/TempImages/ and use everything the same but the server never has any files added to it from what I know.

No it's not, but I have half-solved it by enabling and disabling the series instead of deleteing and readding. The only problem is you can't change the series order this way. Sorry there was just no way to paste the important parts of my code so I never did.

It wont let me reply with the entire code and it wont let me post the code either. So here is the important parts, everything else works fine.
//btnAppend happens when you first add a series to the listbox. It then

lblError.Visible = true;
return;
}
}
foreach (ListItem item in lbSeriesNotShown.Items)
{
if (item.Text == liAdded.Text)
{
lblError.Visible = true;
return;
}
}

populate();

addSeries.ChartType = GetChartType();

Pretty good, I'll check it out. 1 month later and I still have the same problem lol.

I would like to make it a control that I am going to have to call for several different paragraphs. Basically a label but with different parts highlighted in different colors. I will highlight until the strings match, then continue unhighlighted until it finds a mismatch. Then it will highlight.

Bascally highlight parts of the label based off if the strings don't match and not highlighting that parts where they do.

Alright. So I'll have a while loop that also has a stack. On the stack I'll push the currant configuration of the function until the stack is empty. Sounds good. (Unless in 3. you meant think of a method that doesn't involve implementing a recursive function by using a while loop and stack. Then I'll have to rethink everything.)

Thats CSV and the link to XML is broken.

I need XML XLS because I need to format the excel file.

I've looked at that and I don't see how that is styling it.
I am currently writing to an XML file and outputing correctly, but where is it that it opens it up in excel and where is it that it formats the data columns?

I tried that and it didn't work. The error is slightly different format too.
I have solved it but it required me to do a system restore back to 1 week ago. For whatever reason it worked fine then and not now. I wish I could be of more help to people that have this problem but this was the only solution I could find.
