By default, the ItemBackColor property is the same as Chart's BackColor property. The ItemBackColor property specifies the background or the visual appearance for the item's background on the chart area.

The ClearItemBackColor method clears the item's background on the chart part of the control.

The following screen shot shows the chart part when using the ItemBackColor property of the Chart object:

The following samples changes the background color for the item in the chart part only.
