Hello,
I am using Telerik version 2012.1
What I am trying to do is to build a chart with a single source of data. But the source, the chart type, and the color should be able to be selected in drop down comboboxes. I am having trouble figuring out how to get the color set, don't know if it is because I have a generic chart in the XAML and am setting the series definition in an attached property, or if there is another reason. Below is a sample of my code, let me know if you need more. Thank you,

Eli

<charting:RadChart Grid.Row="3" PaletteBrushesUseSolidColors="True" Name="lineChart"> <attached:SeriesMapper.BindingInfo> <attached:SeriesBindingInfo DataTable="{Binding DataTable}"

<br>                                            EmissionsTemplate="{Binding Template}" /><

br> </attached:SeriesMapper.BindingInfo> <charting:RadChart.DefaultView> <Charting:ChartDefaultView> <Charting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend> <Charting:ChartLegend Name="legend3" /> </Charting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend> <Charting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea> <Charting:ChartArea LegendName="legend3"

<br>                                            Legend="{Binding Template.CurrentTemplate}"><

br> <Charting:ChartArea.ZoomScrollSettingsX> <Charting:ZoomScrollSettings ScrollMode="ScrollAndZoom"

<br>                                                             MinZoomRange=".005" /><

br> </Charting:ChartArea.ZoomScrollSettingsX> <Charting:ChartArea.AxisX> <Charting:AxisX DefaultLabelFormat="{Binding AxisXLabelFormat}" LabelStep="12" Title="Date" LayoutMode="Between" /> </Charting:ChartArea.AxisX> <Charting:ChartArea.AxisY> <Charting:AxisY AutoRange="True"

<br>                                                Title="{Binding Template.SelectedYColumn.Alias}"<

br

>                                                ExtendDirection="None" /><

br> </Charting:ChartArea.AxisY> </Charting:ChartArea> </Charting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea> </Charting:ChartDefaultView> </charting:RadChart.DefaultView> </charting:RadChart>

  private static SeriesDefinition CreateSeriesDefinition(string seriesType) { SeriesDefinition series = null;  switch (seriesType) {  case "Line"

:<br>                    series = CreateLineSeriesDefinition();<br>

break;  case "Scatter"

:<br>                    series = CreateScatterSeriesDefinition();<br>

break;  case "Spline"

:<br>                    series = CreateSplineSeriesDefinition();<br>

break; } series.Appearance.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush(SystemColors.ControlDarkColor);  return series; }
