ssrs: valid color code for transparent

Hello,

I am using 2005 SSRS and I  have a bar chart that I would like to show some of the bars as "transparent"; however, "transparent" and "nothing" are not valid color codes.  does anyone know the valid code for transparent?

thank you

Do not enclose nothing with the parenthses.
 Use      = Nothing
 not       = "Nothing"

I was using =nothing, without the quotes.  It still was not a valid color.  Is there anything else i can use?

thanks for the response.
Sorry, I missed the part about it being a bar chart the first time I read this.  This is only possible through a custom control.  You would either have to build one or purchase one.

check this link it has code for color coding. Also you can check in EE VB.net and most likely fine the Hex number for Transparent color. I have some code somewhere. i will check back with you.

Hi,

When I use =Nothing... the color becomes green..  It accepts =Nothing, but does not behave correctly.  If you have some code id can use, i would appreciate it.

Thanks
