Silverlight Column Chart series and data based colors

Question

How can I build a Column Chart with its chart item's color retrieved from data that is bound to or computed by the chart series?

Answer 1

I am assuming that you are using silverlight toolkit.

You need to style your ColumnDataPoint and set the background of the border to the required color through data binding. There is a nice blog post on MSDN about this
