Creating a 3D chart in ASP.NET 4.0 is a cakewalk! Let us take an example of converting a simple chart to a 3D chart in ASP.NET 4.0

The chart shown below is a simple Column chart

 <asp:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" Height="452px"

            Width="822px"  BackColor="WhiteSmoke" BackGradientStyle="TopBottom"

            BackHatchStyle="DarkDownwardDiagonal">

            <Series>

                <asp:Series Name="Series1" XValueMember="Files_Name" YValueMembers="counts" LabelToolTip="FileName"

                    Palette="BrightPastel" IsValueShownAsLabel="true" YValuesPerPoint="4" IsVisibleInLegend="true"

                    ShadowColor="Black">

                </asp:Series>

            </Series>

            <ChartAreas>

                <asp:ChartArea Name="ChartArea1">

                    <Area3DStyle Enable3D="true" Inclination="10" LightStyle="Realistic" Perspective="15"

                        IsRightAngleAxes="false" IsClustered="false" />

                </asp:ChartArea>

            </ChartAreas>

        </asp:Chart>

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:RegistrationConnectionString %>"

            SelectCommand="SELECT     COUNT(*) AS counts, Files_Name

FROM         TrackingInfo

GROUP BY Files_Name">
