Dashed Line Styling with DefaultSeriesDefinition

[Sean]

Hello,

I was following this thread (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/chart/dashed-dotted-line.aspx) on creating dashed/dotted lines for Series in the code-behind. I was able to successfully do this by creating a separate style for each SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition. However, if I try to do this to only the DefaultSeriesDefinition, the dotted lines do not show up correctly. The series are all colored the same and have the correct thickness, but only the first series is dashed.

Example code:

Style tempStyle = new Style(typeof(SelfDrawingSeries));
Style borderLineStyle = new Style(typeof(Path));
borderLineStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeDashArrayProperty, "1"));
borderLineStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeThicknessProperty, 2));
borderLineStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cyan)));
tempStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(SelfDrawingSeries.BorderLineStyleProperty, borderLineStyle));
radChart1.DefaultSeriesDefinition.SeriesStyle = tempStyle;

Is there any way to do this using the DefaultSeriesDefinition? Also, why are the color and thickness applied properly to all series, but not the StrokeDashArray?

Thanks,

Sean

Hello Sean,

Unfortunately at the moment you need to define different style per line series in order to achieve the dash and line effect. Our developers will review this and will introduce improvements in one of our future releases.
