I have a StackedBarSeries
in Silverlight 4 charting (latest release).
I have created a DataPointStyle
called MyDataPointStyle
for a custom tooltip. By itself this breaks the standard palette used for the different bars.
I've applied a custom palette - as described in David Anson's blog to the chart.
However when I have the DataPointStyle
set for my SeriesDefinition
objects it does not use this palette.
I'm not sure what I'm missing - but David specifically says :
... it enables the use of DynamicResource (currently only supported by the WPF platform) to let users customize their DataPointStyle without inadvertently losing the default/custom Palette colors. (Note: A very popular request!)
Unfortunately I'm inadvertently losing these colors - and I can't see why?
