  kyle8086, This is the second time I've heard feedback like this from a user. :( The layout for Charting is quite a bit more involved that most controls - specifically, the fade-in behavior of the DataPoints can make scenarios like yours difficult because the DataPoints may need to be in the visual tree to have their fade-in animations play and make them all visual. So my first suggestion would be to customize the DataPoint Templates to remove the fade animations - basically make the Chart as static as possible. If that's not enough, please consider forcing a few measure/arrange passes on it yourself to possibly fake it out enough to get all the layout stuff to run to completion. And if that fails, fall back to creating the Chart somewhere in the visual tree and printing it as a visual since that works okay for you. :) Sorry for the trouble - I've added a note to look into blogging an example of this so I can better understand the issues involved. Thanks very much for your comment!

  NOTE: I've just removed two comments tagged by the blog engine as spam. They linked to www_vadimv_com which has some pretty charts in Silverlight, but does not seem to use the Data Visualization package from the Silverlight/WPF Toolkits.

  The Drill Down link, though it works, should maybe be removed as the video it links to is missing and the zipped source file is corrupt. Great site, otherwise.

  MS, Thanks! I'm going to leave it for historical reasons, but if you'd like to follow up with Chad, that might be something he'd like to know. Also, FYI that the most recent version of this list can always be found here: http://cesso.org/r/DVLinks
