Answer 6

In the default style the legend items are displayed in a StackPanel. Change the orientation property of the StackPanel to horizontal and the items should display horizontally.

Hey Thanks for this post.

But it did not resolved my problem.

But when I used following properties, it worked.

May be it will be helpful to some one

 <Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
        <Setter.Value>
                  <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                           <toolkit:WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                           </toolkit:WrapPanel>
                   </ItemsPanelTemplate>
         </Setter.Value>
