How do I get the Chart Series' Parent's Parent's Parent's detail?

Hi All,

I am having some difficulties of getting the ancestor of a chart series on silverlight.

I can get the parent, but it is a type of Primitive, and then I can get to the parent of that parent by specifying the type, however, I am not sure how many level deep can that be when it reaches to the Chart, and I would like to get to the Chart.

Can someone guide me to do that in code without specifying the type of the parent.

Thanks

• I might have a suggestion...

  I haven't tried it but what about searching by the Name property on a FrameworkElement?

  public static FrameworkElement FindAncestorByName(FrameworkElement element, string name)
  {
      while (element != null)
      {
       if (element.Name == name)
        return element;
  
       DependencyObject obj = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(element);
       element = obj as FrameworkElement;
      }
      return null;
  }
  

  This could return nothing when there is a DependencyObject in the VisualTree which is not a FrameworkElement. But I think this is worth a shot...
