Q:

Create style to rotate axis label in code behind

I need to create a style that rotates the x axis labels.
I've found this examples: Easily rotate the axis labels of a Silverlight/WPF Toolkit chart and Rotating Text and How to change AxisLabelStyle in code behind?
I need to do this in the code behind. So I've tried this:  
var labelStyle = new Style(typeof(AxisLabel));
var rotate = new Setter(RotateTransform.AngleProperty, 270);
var setter = new Setter(AxisLabel.RenderTransformProperty, rotate);

labelStyle.Setters.Add(setter);
(xSerie.IndependentAxis as CategoryAxis).AxisLabelStyle = labelStyle;

I think I'm doing some mistake on the RenderTransformProperty.
What I have to do? Thanks!
Edit:
O just updated my code to:  
var labelStyle = new Style(typeof(AxisLabel));  
var setter = new Setter(AxisLabel.RenderTransformProperty, new RotateTransform(){Angle = -60, CenterX = 40, CenterY = 30});  
labelStyle.Setters.Add(setter);

And now it works fine!

A:

If you are doing this from code, you should focus on manipulating the transform collection.
var group = new TransformGroup();
group.Children.Add(new RotateTransform() { Angle = 270 });
control.RenderTransform = group;

Alternatively, add your transform to an existing RenderTransform:
TransformGroup renderTransform = control.RenderTransform as TransformGroup;
if (renderTransform != null)
{
    RotateTransform rotate = renderTransform.Children
         .FirstOrDefault(o => o is RotateTransform as RotateTransform 
    if(rotate == null)
    {
         rotate = new RotateTransform();
         renderTransform.Children.Add(rotate);
    }
    rotate.Angle = 270;
}

oh... You should also think about your RenderTransformOrigin:
control.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(0.5, 0.5);
