MarkerSymbol dynamic stroke color

Question

I am working in a project where we have to define the stroke color of a SimpleMarkerSymbol. Right now I am using a ControlTemplate to define it like this: That worked fine until now. I have an enhancement request that asks to make the Stroke color dynamic like the Fill color is. For the Fill color to be dynamic what I did was to Bind it to the "Color" property of the "SimpleMarkerSymbol." That works fine except that I don't see any Stroke property in the SimpleMarkerSymbol class. How can I add that? Do I need to write my own MarkerSymbol class? I tried extending SimpleMarkerSymbol but that is a "sealed" class. Thanks for your help!

Dominique,
thanks again. Is there any example somewhere about the ToJason method and how to write it?
Thanks!

What is this IJsonSerializable interface for? Do you know if I need to extend that as well in my project for it to work properly?

The IJsonSerializable interface is mainly for being able to print the graphics at server side.
Without implementing this interface, the graphics using your symbol will be printed with a default symbol.Also, you mentioned this other SimpleMarkerSymbol class in ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.FeatureService.Symbols, what is the difference between that class and the one I am using?

ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.FeatureService.Symbols is used internally to create symbols for feature services.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I figured I would have to extend MarkerSymbol. I see in the documentation that SimpleMarkerSymbol extends MarkerSymbol AND IJsonSerializable.
