Great post! :)

There were some things I still wasn't understanding quite well, but your post made it all clear for me. I'll play around with it now and see what else I can do.

I see that I can change the chart background by redefining the PlotAreaStyle setter value, or change the border, legend or title styles. Great! Thanks again for this post :)

Cheers,

Paulo

Thanks for the info but when I try to open the ChartStylingScenarios, it says that:

"The project type is not supported by this installation."

Note that I do not have Silverlight installed because the machines i'm developing for will not have it either and I don't want to include anything that won't run on their machines.

I'm working on a WPF application.

Thanks for any info on this.

coolduds,

That's expected behavior - ChartStylingScenarios is a Silverlight (only) project. But I've got good news for you! :) The DataVisualizationDemos solution I link to in the following post includes this sample and has projects for both Silverlight and WPF.

You should be able to open that solution, ignore the failure to read the Silverlight project, and then build, run, and analyze the WPF project just fine!

Hope this helps!
