Expression Newsletter - Silverlight Toolkit Charting Article

The Expression Newsletter is out. In the current issue, you’ll find my article about styling charts in the Silverlight Toolkit. I learned a lot while writing that article, and I hope you learn a lot from reading it.

As promised, here’s the follow-up article on using overlays. I’m looking forward to seeing some cool data visualization in Silverlight 2!

Pete - great blog and thanks for the article! I am new silverlight and the toolkit and have a question about the pie chart - is it possible to permanently assign a color to a legend item (so that the chart is prevented from cycling through its colors when updated with a new (or very similar) list of items via it's DataContext)? Thanks! Pat

@Patrick

A suggestion one of the toolkit team members made to me in respone to a similar question was to include the color as a property of the object you're binding to, then modify the control style/template to bind to that property to get its color.

That may not be the only solution here, but it's one of them.
