To recreate...

In designer...

Add a teechart to a form.
Add a commander bar and set the chart property.

Run...

Add a tower series
Add a random data source (just select random and apply)

Click a button which does the following operation...

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

string path = string.Format("{0}\\Charts", Application.StartupPath);

// Determine whether the directory exists.
if(!System.IO.Directory.Exists(path))
{
// Try to create the directory.
System.IO.DirectoryInfo di = System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
}


string strChartTemplatePath = Application.StartupPath + @"\Charts\01.Ten";

// Store the existing chart.
System.IO.FileStream fsCreate = null;

if(strChartTemplatePath != null)
{
// Overwrite the existing file
fsCreate = new System.IO.FileStream(strChartTemplatePath,System.IO.FileMode.Create);

this.tChart1.Export.Template.Save(fsCreate);
}

if(fsCreate != null)
{
fsCreate.Close();
}

FileStream fsOpen = null;

if(strChartTemplatePath != null)
{
fsOpen = new System.IO.FileStream(strChartTemplatePath, System.IO.FileMode.Open);

this.tChart1.Import.Template.Load(fsOpen);
}

if(fsOpen != null)
{
fsOpen.Close();
}


this.commander1.Chart = this.tChart1;
}




Conclusion....

A red bar appears as the first XYZ value oon the chart.

I found a workaround for this, but dont understand why I have to do it?

The line...

((Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Series)this.tChart1[0]).ColorEach = false;

is required after loading the file which removes this annoying red tower.

Hi Vaughan,

I've been able to reproduce this problem here. However, I've checked that this already works using our latest v1 and v2 sources so you can expect this to be fixed for the next maintenance release.
