| LayerBase |
A VectorLayer object.

Using this property, the legend gets the information about the colors (for color legends) or sizes (for the size legend) of the specified layer.
To add a legend to the map do the following.
Create a MapLegendBase class descendant object and add it to the MapControl.Legends collection.
Optionally, specify the MapLegendBase.Header and MapLegendBase.Description properties.
If it needed, specify the ItemsLayerLegend.Layer property of the legend.
<dxm:MapControl.Legends>
<dxm:ColorScaleLegend Layer="{Binding ElementName=mapLayer}" Header="GDP By Countries"
Description="In US dollars." RangeStopsFormat="0,B" MinWidth="550"/>
</dxm:MapControl.Legends>
