In my usage of the ChartCiew I have three line series drawn on a chart per date, all of which share the same colour which are distinguished by using the DashArray property of the LineSeries class to make one solid, one dotted (1,1) and one dashed (3,3). Each different date shown on the chart uses a different colour.
I can't seem to figure out how to make a legend that replicates the line drawn on the chart using the dash array property, do you have any advice?
I have looked at your examples and can't see one that does what I want.
I can't really attach the code but I have attached an image showing a chart containing two LineSeries (one solid and one dashed) and my desired legend to indicate my requirements.
Thanks,

Thanks for the sample image.
You can achieve such legend with StackPanel where each legend item is made of TextBlock and Line. To have your line dashed just use the StrokeDashArray property of the Line. I prepared a small project to demonstrate this. You can find it attached. I hope it helps.

Anyway I opened up the MainPage.xaml in Notepad saw what you meant and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for your help

I am dynamically adding series to and from the chart in code and because this interface is missing at the moment I have had to bind my legend control to a different collection that implements that interface that I need to keep in sync with the chart myself.
I forwarded your suggestion to our developers and they will consider whether this will be made. As for the sample project - I'm sorry for omitting to see that you posted this in RadChartView for WPF forum thread. I'm glad that you converted the SL application to WPF on your own.
