To create diamond markers instead of bubbles, use the SeriesList’s Markers property to define the type of marker used. You can choose from Circle, Tri, InvertedTri, Box, Diamond or Cross.

This topic illustrates how to change marker type in Design view and in Source view.

Changing the Marker Type in Design View:

To change the marker type of your C1BubbleChart, follow these steps:

1. Select View | Properties Window in the Visual Studio menu.
2. Click the drop-down list at the top of the Properties window and select Panel1_C1BubbleChartExtender.
3. Click the ellipsis button next to the SeriesList property. The BubbleChartSeries Collection Editor appears.
4. Select the series from the Members list that you wish to change its marker type. In this example we’ll select the first series from the Members list.
5. Select the dropdown arrow next to the Type and then choose Diamond.
6. Cick OK.

The Diamond marker type is applied to the first bubble chart series.

Changing the Marker Type in Source View

To change the marker type for the first series in Source view, add <Markers Type="Diamond"></Markers> tag so that the tag resembles the following:

<cc1:C1BubbleChartExtender ID="Panel1_C1BubbleChartExtender" runat="server"

            Height="300" TargetControlID="Panel1" Width="400">

            <Animation Duration="500" Easing="EaseOutElastic">
