    WPF / Silverlight: Integrating RadChart and RadContextMenu Controls

    One common request that we are receiving recently is how to integrate the RadChart and RadContextMenu controls so they play nicely together. A typical real-life scenario would probably require that each ChartItem should display different (context-specific) set of menu items.
