How do I move a chart legend?

The introduction in the documentation for Essential Chart for WPF says: The position of the legend on the chart area as well as its representation aspects can be customized.

My question is simple. HOW?

By default, the legend is on top of the chart area. I wish to move the legend to the right of the chart area and can't find any property for doing this.

Also, I am using Blend 4.0 and can't even select the legend like users of Visual Studio can. But even in Visual Studio, there doesn't seem to be a way to move the legend.

Hi Craig Palenshus,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

We analyzed your requirement and it can be achieved by setting the SetDock attached property of chart as in below code snippet.

Code snippet:
[C#]

Chart.SetDock(LegendName, ChartDock.Right);

[XAML]

Thanks. I'll look at the sample, but how do you do this in Blend? I really don't want to have to write code (sort of defeats the purpose of Blend). Isn't there a way to select the legend and set the position property to "right"?
