Each chart type in the ActiveReports Chart control contains specific properties that apply to it. You can set the chart type and the correlating series-specific properties in the Series Collection Editor dialog via the Series (Collection) property in the Properties Window of Visual Studio and in the DataPoint Collection dialog box via the Points (Collection) property in the Series dialog.
