Adding text to DataMarker

How can I add additional text to data markers on a doughnut chart? Currently I have

...
<chart:ChartDataMarker LabelContent="YValue">
...

which displays a number as the data marker but I need to format that number to represent money.

So, essentially, I need to add a "$" before the number on the marker but something like the following does not work (obviously)

...
<chart:ChartDataMarker LabelContent="$YValue">
...

Thanks!

Hi Drew Wilson,  
   
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.   
   
We can add additional text to datamarker label. The LabelStyle of ChartDataMarker has a Property called LabelFormat which is used to format the datamarker labels. By using this LabelFormat, we can add $ symbol as prefix to the datamarker label.   
  
The following code illustrates how to add $ symbol as prefix to datamarker labels.   
  
XAML   
<chart:DoughnutSeries  ItemsSource="{Binding data}">
        <chart:DoughnutSeries.DataMarker>
               <chart:ChartDataMarker>
                       <chart:ChartDataMarker.LabelStyle>
                              <chart:DataMarkerLabelStyle LabelFormat ="$"/>
                       </chart:ChartDataMarker.LabelStyle>
                </chart:ChartDataMarker>
        </ chart:DoughnutSeries.DataMarker>
</ chart:DoughnutSeries  >  
 
 
  
   
   
C#   
DoughnutSeries series = new DoughnutSeries ();
series.ItemsSource = data;
series.DataMarker = new ChartDataMarker () {
           LabelStyle = new DataMarkerLabelStyle (){LabelFormat="$"},
};

I would like to further format this as currency by adding commas every 3 digits and two decimal places. Is it possible to do something like:

  <chart:DataMarkerLabelStyle LabelFormat ="$###,###.##"/>

Thanks
