ChartDataPointCollection dataPoints = series.DataPoints;

Assert.IsTrue(dataPoints.HasDefaultFormat(0));
Assert.IsFalse(dataPoints.HasDefaultFormat(1));

// Copy format of the data point with index 1 to the data point with index 2
// so that the data point 2 looks the same as the data point 1.
dataPoints.CopyFormat(0, 1);

Assert.IsTrue(dataPoints.HasDefaultFormat(0));
Assert.IsTrue(dataPoints.HasDefaultFormat(1));
