WPF was designed to allow you to style controls through XAML; not code. Making the plot area and legend transparent in a pie chart is also possible through styling. Unfortunately, the border around the plot area cannot be controlled using a property and instead you have to modify the entire control template. In the end using styling is probably just as tedious as writing code behind that modifies the visual tree, but to me at least, it still feels like a cleaner approach.

The PlotAreaStyle and LegendStyle are modified to make them transparent. The border around the plot area is removed by modifying the ControlTemplate of the chart and simply commenting out the offending Border element.
