Legend MarkerFill Color linked to series Color

[Olivier Masset]

Hello,
I'm working on a MVVM application.
The user can dynamically change the RadChart series color with the interface.

Code behind:
        ...
Binding strokeBinding = new Binding(".")
{
 Source = dataSerie,
 Mode = BindingMode.OneWay,
 Path = new PropertyPath("Color"),
 Converter = new ColorToBrushConverter()
};

BindingOperations.SetBinding(appearanceSettings, AppearanceSettings.StrokeProperty, strokeBinding);
        ...

The legend is automatically generated but colors do not change automatically with the series color.
I tried to turn auto genarated items to false and used a binding between the color and the legend MarkerFillProperty.
It sets the marker with the right color but if I change dynamically the color it doesn't work.

Code behind:
ChartLegend.UseAutoGeneratedItems = false;

   ...

ChartLegendItem chartLegendItem = new ChartLegendItem();
chartLegendItem.Label = dataSerie.LegendLabel;

Binding markerFillBinding = new Binding(".")
{
 Source = dataSerie,
 Mode = BindingMode.OneWay,
 Path = new PropertyPath("Color"),
 Converter = new ColorToBrushConverter()
};

Could you help me?
Regards,
Olivier

sorry I forgot the end of the source code:

Code behind:
ChartLegend.UseAutoGeneratedItems = false;

   ...

ChartLegendItem chartLegendItem = new ChartLegendItem();
chartLegendItem.Label = dataSerie.LegendLabel;

Binding markerFillBinding = new Binding(".")
{
 Source = dataSerie,
 Mode = BindingMode.OneWay,
 Path = new PropertyPath("Color"),
 Converter = new ColorToBrushConverter()
};

BindingOperations.SetBinding(chartLegendItem, ChartLegendItem.MarkerFillProperty, markerFillBinding);
//chartLegendItem.MarkerFill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);
trend.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Items.Add(chartLegendItem);
