    I am trying to detach my legend from the DefaultView. Following the post by Manol, I was able to get the desired behaviour, but only when defined in XAML. Using the code below, the legend is shown, but never populated. 

    var stackPanel = new StackPanel { OrientationOrientation = Orientation.Horizontal };
    var legendName = "MyLegend"; 
    var chartLegend = new ChartLegend { Name = legendName }; 
    var radChart = new RadChart(); 
       
    radChart.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed; 
    radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.LegendName = legendName; 
       
    stackPanel.Children.Add(radChart); 
    stackPanel.Children.Add(chartLegend);

    This is the XAML, which actually works:
    <StackPanel Name="LayoutRoot" Orientation="Horizontal">
        <telerik:RadChart Name="rcChart">
            <telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
                <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView>
                    <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                        <telerikCharting:ChartLegend Visibility="Collapsed" />
                    </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                    <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
                        <telerikCharting:ChartArea LegendName="MyLegend" />
                    </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
                </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView>
            </telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
        </telerik:RadChart>
        <telerikCharting:ChartLegend Name="MyLegend"></telerikCharting:ChartLegend>
    </StackPanel>

    Any ideas?

    Hi Andy H,

    In code behind you can associate the ChartArea and the ChartLegend via the ChartArea.Legend property like this:

    var stackPanel = new StackPanel { Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal };
    var chartLegend = new ChartLegend();
    var radChart = new RadChart();
     
    radChart.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
    radChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.Legend = chartLegend;
     
    stackPanel.Children.Add(radChart);
    stackPanel.Children.Add(chartLegend);
     
    LayoutRoot.Children.Add(stackPanel);



    Best wishes,
