Some mark shapes do not have filling (star, cross etc) and it the MarkFillEffect does not influence their appearance.

The following examples adds a new item to the legend and changes the mark fill effect.

Visual Basic

Dim legend As Legend = CType(NChartControl.Legends(0), Legend)

legend.Mode = LegendMode.Manual



Dim item As LegendDataItem =  New LegendDataItem() 

item.Text = "New item"

item.MarkShape = LegendMarkShape.Circle

item.MarkFillEffect.SetGradient(GradientStyle.Horizontal, GradientVariant.Variant1, Color.Azure, Color.Blue)



legend.Data.Array.Add(item)

C#

Legend legend = (Legend)NChartControl.Legends[0];

legend.Mode = LegendMode.Manual;



LegendDataItem item = new LegendDataItem();

item.Text = "New item";

item.MarkShape = LegendMarkShape.Circle;

item.MarkFillEffect.SetGradient(GradientStyle.Horizontal, GradientVariant.Variant1, Color.Azure, Color.Blue);



legend.Data.Array.Add(item);
