[Solved] setting series color in xaml

[Omer]

Hi I need to set the series color - the appearence property in xaml rather than code behind Is that possible?

Hi Omer,
 
           You can set series appearance declaratively in XAML like this:

<telerikChart:RadChart VerticalAlignment="Top">
          <telerikChart:RadChart.DefaultView>
              <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView>

                  <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
                      <telerikCharting:ChartTitle Content="Year 2009" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
                  </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>

                  <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                      <telerikCharting:ChartLegend x:Name="chartLegend" UseAutoGeneratedItems="True" />
                  </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>

                  <telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
                      <telerikCharting:ChartArea LegendName="chartLegend">
                          <telerikCharting:ChartArea.DataSeries>

                              <!-- Bar Chart -->
                              <telerikCharting:DataSeries LegendLabel="Expenses">
                                  <telerikCharting:DataSeries.Definition>
                                      <telerikCharting:BarSeriesDefinition>
                                          <telerikCharting:BarSeriesDefinition.Appearance>
                                              <telerikCharting:SeriesAppearanceSettings Fill="DodgerBlue"/>
                                          </telerikCharting:BarSeriesDefinition.Appearance>
                                      </telerikCharting:BarSeriesDefinition>
                                  </telerikCharting:DataSeries.Definition>

                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="45" XCategory="Jan"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="48" XCategory="Feb"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="53" XCategory="Mar"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="41" XCategory="Apr"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="32" XCategory="May"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="28" XCategory="Jun"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="63" XCategory="Jul"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="74" XCategory="Aug"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="77" XCategory="Sep"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="85" XCategory="Oct"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="89" XCategory="Nov"/>
                                  <telerikCharting:DataPoint YValue="80" XCategory="Dec"/>
                              </telerikCharting:DataSeries>
                          </telerikCharting:ChartArea.DataSeries>
                      </telerikCharting:ChartArea>
                  </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
              </telerikCharting:ChartDefaultView>
          </telerikChart:RadChart.DefaultView>
      </telerikChart:RadChart>

Hope it will help you
