Bar chart color

[Gyan]

Hi
I want to set the bar color based on a property. I used a converter to do this but somehow the converter is not invoked.
My code is below

<

telerik:BarSeries.PointTemplate>

 

<DataTemplate>

 

<!--<Rectangle Fill="#B0127F" Width="50" />-->

 

<Rectangle Fill="{Binding ProjectStage, Converter={StaticResource StageToBrushConverter}}" Width="50" />

 

</DataTemplate>

 

</telerik:BarSeries.PointTemplate>

The commented line shows something that works. But with the binding and converter it doesn't.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Gyan,

Thanks for writing.
The XAML snippet that you posted does not work because you assume that the data context of the data template is your data object. In fact, it is an instance of the DataPoint class. This data point has a DataItem property which is a reference to your data object. So your binding should bind to DataItem.ProjectStage instead of just ProjectStage.

Please write again if you need further assistance.
