Styling the asp.net charting controls

How can I make charts that look like this:

alt text

Instead of this:

MS Chart Example

EDIT: I've made some progress, since asking this question. The styling elements that improve the default graph in both Dundas and MSChart are:

Round Corners on the chart container
Background colours and gradients on chart container
Transparency on column colours
Alignment of columns in the x axis (bizarely, MSChart defaults to z axis alignment)
Area 3D wall width

I know it's a bit late, but I was playing with the chart for a project I'm working on.

Color="#960080ff"

The first set of two digits in the color are for the alpha channel. I've got it set for 96 which is semi transparent.

Try setting the Area3DStyle.Enable3D property to true.
