Public Property ChartType() As ChartType

{remarks}
Unless otherwise specified, all series created on a chart will inherit the {{ChartType}} of that chart.

Note that depending on the configuration of the rest of the chart, it may not be possible to set the {{ChartType}} of a series to any {{ChartType}} without error.  For an overview of valid series configurations, see the remarks on the [{{SeriesCollection}}|SeriesCollection] class.  If you need to change both the {{ChartType}} and the [{{AxisType}}|Series.AxisType] of a series at once in order to maintain a valid configuration, see the [{{Series.ChangeConfiguration

}}|Series.ChangeConfiguration(ChartType, AxisType)] method.
{remarks}
{exceptions}
{exception:ArgumentException}The rules for what series can coexist on a chart are described under [{{SeriesCollection}}|SeriesCollection]. If these rules would be violated by changing the chart type to the specified value, an ArgumentException will be thrown. Depending on the current series that are in your chart, you may need to change the chart type to a different {{ChartType}} or remove some existing series before calling this method in order to ensure that the rules described in [SeriesCollection] are adhered to.
