Sparkline style

[Dan]

Hello,
I recently read the excellent  book "Next-Generation Business Intelligence Software with Silverlight 3"

http://www.amazon.com/Next-Generation-Business-Intelligence-Software-Silverlight/dp/1430224878

I am trying to incorporate some of things i learned into my existing application.  Much of the sample code was against Silverlight Toolkit and not Telerik charts.  I am trying to port some of the styles from toolkit to telerik.  I have figured out many of them but not all. 

Basically the chart is a word sized, sparkline that contains 2 line series.  I am hoping someone can share the xaml for:

1.  Set the StrokeThickness, Opacity and StrokeDashArray of a line series definition
2.  Turn off showing datapoints.
3.   For x axis, set the height and opacity.
4.  for the Y axis, set opacity, min, max.
5.  have the chart background be equal to whatever container it is in.  In my case, the chart is within a cell within a datagrid.

Below my signature, i have pasted the Silverlight Toolkit xaml for the styles.

Dan,

I am looking for exactly the same information.
I guess the low level steps described in the documentation pointed out by the Telerik team are enough... though I have not done it yet. Have you been able to get an equivalent configuration to the one described in the "BI with SL3" book?

Thanks!
Carlos
