How to refresh a WinRTXamlToolkit Chart to display changed data

I'm doing currently some first Windows Phone 8 / XAML experiments and use the WinRTXamlToolkit chart control. While I managed to get my data drawn, I have problems to redraw the control to display changed data. 

                CHART_Overview.Series.Add(_lsChartOvw);

            ((AreaSeries)CHART_Overview.Series[0]).ItemsSource = _lstLogOvw;

            LinearAxis dta = new LinearAxis();
            dta.Title = "X";
            dta.Orientation = AxisOrientation.X;
            dta.ShowGridLines = true;

            CHART_Overview.Axes.Add(dta);

            CHART_Overview.Axes.Add(new LinearAxis()
            {
                Minimum = 0,
                Maximum = 100,
                Orientation = AxisOrientation.Y,
                Interval = 20,
                ShowGridLines = true,
                Title = "Y"
            });

            Random rd = new Random((int)DateTime.Now.ToFileTimeUtc());

            for(int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
            {
                _lstLogOvw.Add(new GenericValueItem() { X = i, Y = rd.Next(1, 100) });
            }

I tried the following update scheme

                _lstLogOvw.Clear();
            for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
            {
                _lstLogOvw.Add(new GenericValueItem() { X = i, Y = rd.Next(1, 100) });
            }

            ((AreaSeries)CHART_Overview.Series[0]).ItemsSource = _lstLogOvw;

The list is of type ObservableCollection. It's probably a binding problem but I've not much XAML experience at the moment to fully understand the refresh mechanism.

Don't know the proper way of doing it, but you can get around it by force the ItemSource to be null before assigning back to the actual list.

((AreaSeries)CHART_Overview.Series[0]).ItemsSource = null;
((AreaSeries)CHART_Overview.Series[0]).ItemsSource = _lstLogOvw;
