Hi, Do you have any plans to upgrade ChartFX 7 (Visual Studio 2005) to support .Net 4.0? We are currently investigating an issue raised by a customer who is reporting that the Web Client does not work on Windows 7 with .Net 4.0 installed (.Net 2.0 is not installed) Kind Regards Russ

Hi, Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately we do not have an equal number of bars per category as the number of bars per category depends on the data. This is what is causing our issue, if the number of bars per category are equal then the chart renders correctly however, when we have 1 bar on the first category and 3 bars on the second then the bars within the first category simply don't align and make the chart unreadable. Kind Regards Russ LegendBox.zip

Hi, If the number of series and points per category are equal then the problem does not occur. But if you have one point per series like this; _chartFX.Data[0, 0] =1; _chartFX.Data[1, 0] = 2; _chartFX.Data[2, 0] = 3; _chartFX.Data[3, 1] = 4; _chartFX.Data[4, 1] = 5; _chartFX.Data[5, 1] = 6; _chartFX.Data[4, 2] = 7; _chartFX.Data[5, 2] = 8; _chartFX.Data[6, 2] = 9; then the bars will not align. Or if you have unequal points per series _chartFX.Data[0, 0] = 1; _chartFX.Data[0, 1] = Chart.Hidden; _chartFX.Data[0, 2] = Chart.Hidden;_chartFX.Data[1, 0] = Chart.Hidden; _chartFX.Data[1, 1] = 2; _chartFX.Data[1, 2] = Chart.Hidden; _chartFX.Data[2, 0] = Chart.Hidden;_chartFX.Data[2, 1] = Chart.Hidden; _chartFX.Data[2, 2] = 3;

Hi, Many thanks for taking the time to reply. We thought that was the issue so have tried creating a single series per point and still get alignment issues. As you can see below the bars for BAR1 and BAR3 do not align with the centre of the category label. Is there anyway to get bars to align to the category label when the number of bars per category are not equal? Thanks Russ

Hi, It seems there is an issue with the alignment of bars within a bar chart. We have found that if each x-axis category does not have the same number ofbars (or in effect one for each series) then bars are not aligned within thecentre of the category label. This makes the bar chart almost impossible to read. For the example attached we have 3 x-axis categories, the first category(BAR1) has 3 values the other two categories have one value each. As theattached file shows the chart is very hard to interpret. To resolve the problem we have tried plotting equal points per categoryusing Chart.Hidden but this has no affect. Is there anyway to resolve this?

We think we have found a workaround for our issue. As Sharepoint is installed at the root of the webserver the ChartFX70 folder is secured by forms authentication. If we exclude the ChartFX70 virtual directory from Forms Authentication by adding an entry within the web.config then the error no longer occurs.

We are also suffering from this issue and as yet have not been able to find a solution. Our project is hosted within a MOSS 2007 environment and occurs with or without the PSS Service enabled.

Hi, We have several corporate customers who are unable to automatically download and install the .Net active X Control due to security restrictions. With the COM Active X Control you provided an installation package that could be used to manually install the control. Do you have a similar package for the .Net Control? Thanks Russ

Hi Frank, Thanks again for taking the time to reply. The development site is tested as localhost i.e. localhost in the address bar. We have tried adding full trust to all SoftwareFx assemblies but the problem still persists. I understand that this is a Microsft issue but would you be able to check and see if you can reproduce this? As currently the only way we can enable drilldown is by adding full trust to the website which is something that some of our corporate customers may not like. Thanks again Russ

Hi Frank, This was done on my development machine that acts as both the client and the server, I did however add the permission via the url (http://localhost/chartfx70/dwonload/ChartFX.NetIEClient.dll and the drilldown still does not work without the website having full trust enabled. We are using IE 7 (Windows XP) - could having the chartfx service installed on the machine effect this? I wouldn't have thought so. Many Thanks Russ

Hi, We need to enable the drilldown functionality within our chart rendered as an Active X Control. I noticed that there is a HowTo on your website however, this seems to be for a previous version. http://support.softwarefx.com/ShowArticleSep.aspx?Type=KB&Product=CfxNet62&Source=http://support.softwarefx.com/kb/614/1/001.htm?_r=1 We followed the instructions as is apart from we browsed to the following .dll and added Full Trust rather than Medium Trust (The instructions suggest a different .dll that does not exist) C:\Program Files\ChartFX for Visual Studio 2005\ChartFX70\Download\ChartFX.NetIEClient.dll Unfortunately, the click event still will not function unless we add full trust to the internet site - which is something that we do not wish to do. Is there an updated instruction list or have we selected the wrong .dll? Many Thanks Russ
