New Colors for Bars in ChartControl are not same as in legend

Take this attachement, please. In the first one, the chart contains additional bars, that are not part of the problem. ;)

Hi Timo,
To resolve this issue, include the e.LegendDrawOptions property adjustment in the CustomDrawSeries event handler:

C#
private void chartControl2_CustomDrawSeries(object sender, CustomDrawSeriesEventArgs e)  
{  
    //Uncomment this to correct the wrong color in the barchart, but not in the legend  

    BarDrawOptions legendOpts = e.LegendDrawOptions as BarDrawOptions;  

    BarDrawOptions drawOptions = e.SeriesDrawOptions as BarDrawOptions;  
    if (drawOptions == null)  
        return;  

    // Get the fill options for the series point.  
    drawOptions.FillStyle.FillMode = FillMode.Gradient;  
    legendOpts.FillStyle.FillMode = FillMode.Gradient;  

    RectangleGradientFillOptions options = drawOptions.FillStyle.Options as RectangleGradientFillOptions;  
    RectangleGradientFillOptions legendoptions = legendOpts.FillStyle.Options as RectangleGradientFillOptions;  

    if (options == null)  
    {  
        return;  
    }  
    Color color2 = drawOptions.Color;  
    byte R = (byte)((float)color2.R / 1.5f);  
    byte G = (byte)((float)color2.G / 1.5f);  
    byte B = (byte)((float)color2.B / 1.5f);  
    options.Color2 = Color.FromArgb(R, G, B);  
    legendoptions.Color2 = Color.FromArgb(R, G, B);  
}  

Thanks you so much for this solution. It works. :)
But one remark: isn ́t this a bug of the framework? Shouldn't not the second color be computed automaticaly? Is it intendet, that a simple task like changing the color of a bar in a barchart is such complicated?

Timo,
As I mentioned previously, this behavior is not considered as incorrect and therefore we do not plan to change it in future versions. As an alternative solution, you can define a custom palette instead of handling runtime CustomDraw* events.

The root cause for my intention to change the colors was as follows: I show a stacked barchart with serveral series, e.g. as follows:
- US-Dollar,
- Bermuda-Dollar,
- Euro,
Under certain circumstances, the Bermuda-Dollar ist not part of the data source and so this series disappears in the chart. In this case, the color of Euro becomes the old color of the Bermuda-Dollar. This behaviour leads to confusion at customer side.
To prevent the chart from this behaviour, i assign the colors by myself. So i have full control over the colors and can assign same colors to same currency. Perhaps there is a better way to achieve same colors also with missing series!?
