    Hello jose,

    You can read the XML document, retrieve the data and after that bind it to the chart.

    For example this is my xml file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
    <items>
        <item Name="Peter" Age="26" />
        <item Name="Anna" Age="29" />
    </items>

    and I am using Linq to XML to read the data:

    XDocument myXML = XDocument.Load("XMLFile1.xml");
                 
    List<Person> personsList =
    (from person in myXML.Descendants("item")
    select new Person()
    {
        Name = person.Attribute("Name").Value,
        Age = int.Parse(person.Attribute("Age").Value),
             
    }).ToList();

    Here you can find help and another examples about reading XML files:

    Here you can find examples about populating data in RadChart:

    http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radchart-populating-with-data-data-binding-with-manual-series-mapping.html

    In this example I'm using Manual Series Mapping and setting the data to the ItemSource:

    radChart.ItemsSource = personsList;

    <telerik:RadChart x:Name="radChart">
        <telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
            <telerik:ChartDefaultView>
                <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
                    <telerik:ChartTitle Content="Age Statistic" />
                </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
            </telerik:ChartDefaultView>
        </telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
        <telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>
            <telerik:SeriesMapping LegendLabel="Age">
                <telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
                    <telerik:BarSeriesDefinition ShowItemToolTips="True" />
                </telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
                <telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
                    <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="YValue"
                                    FieldName="Age" />
                    <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="XCategory"
                                    FieldName="Name" />
                </telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
            </telerik:SeriesMapping>
        </telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>
    </telerik:RadChart>

    I hope this will help.
