Venugopal Anthana, there is no installer for Silverlight Toolkit. It is shiped as several dll files and also some xaml files which are for the themes. But you can easily add the controls to your toolbox following these steps:

Go to your toolbox, right click and then click on "Choose items...".
Choose "Silverlight Components" tab.
Click "Browse" and navigate to a dll file
Click "Open", then "OK".
All Silverlight controls contained in the dll which you have chosen are already in your toolbox.

Monika, Silverlight and ASP.NET are completely different technologies. They can not be "imported" in one another but can be used together.

Dkelley725, it seems that chart series are using some default colors. I tried the following code with no effect:

( ( ColumnSeries )this.chartColumn.Series[ 0 ] ).Background = new SolidColorBrush( Colors.Red );

Can you provide a code behind example showing how to set the series background color, thanks.

Hi Donald,

The aim of this article was just to make a quick sample for every control, not to make a detailed example with all the possible uses. It's up to you whether you prefer making the things in XAML or the code behind.

About the TreeViw, I'll check if it's possible to load nodes on demand.

Additionaly we are working on separate articles about each control. Here you can see an article about the DockPanel. There will be more articles soon.

I'm confused. This is a great set of controls but why are the examples so focussed on xaml? Unless I'm missing something xaml can't be stepped through in a debugger and is very messy after Blend gets through with it so why is the sample code so focussed on xaml. I just want to arrange a treeview on a page and then make WPF service calls to fetch portions of the data hierarchy as needed, in other words, when a category is expanded, and delete those items when it's collapsed. Can you put together some more code behind samples for those of us who shiver at the thought of complex functional relationships defined in a markup language. No offense to the xaml guys.

Thanks, Donald

Hi iiordanov,

Isn't there any way i can use charts with a windows application?

regards

RE: Silverlight Toolkit Overview

iiordanov — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:10:54 GMT

hi anthrax,

No, it is not possible to use the charts from Silverlight controls toolkit in WPF applications. The reason for that is the fact that both SDKs Silverlight and WPF are different.

hi Joseph,

Thanks for the help. it works.

RE: Silverlight Toolkit Overview

nikolayraychev — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:17:36 GMT

Joseph,

anthrax is right, you can put more lines with adding more LineSeries and defining their ItemsSource.

anthrax,

try this:

ls.DependentValueBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding( "Value" );
ls.IndependentValueBinding = new System.Windows.Data.Binding( "Key" );

I hope that this will help.

RE: Hi, how can i pu more than one line in one LineSeries

add another keyValuePair array

( ( LineSeries )this.chartLine.Series[ 1 ] ).ItemsSource = new KeyValuePairint>[]
{
    new KeyValuePairint>(DateTime.Now, 1),
    new KeyValuePairint>(DateTime.Now.AddDays(1), 7),
    new KeyValuePairint>(DateTime.Now.AddDays(2), 2),
    new KeyValuePairint>(DateTime.Now.AddDays(3), 5),
    new KeyValuePairint>(DateTime.Now.AddDays(4), 3)
};

and add another charting series

        
            Title="Line2"
            DependentValueBinding="{Binding Path=Value}" 
            IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Path=Key}">
        
hope that helps

I've been trying to edit the line chart sample to bind the data fields from C# code. what i've done was

List> MyPointSeries= new List>();
LineSeries ls;

            .
            .
            .
            ls.DependentValueBinding.Path=MyPointSeries[].Key;
            ls.IndependentValueBinding.Path=MyPointSeries[].Value;

It says value expected for the array. Could you please tell how to bind those properties from C# code insted doing

DependentValueBinding="{Binding Path=Value}"
IndependentValueBinding="{Binding Path=Key}"

in xaml page.

thanx
