FX Chart in dynamic XAML

[BoykoD]

Dears,

We are going to use your chart in our application that will build dynamic views for users(something like dashboards), each part of the view will be stored as XAML definition in the DB and then will be processed and showed to final user on fly. The question here, if it is possible to use FX Chart in such way? We have tried trial version 8.1, and got an error "Couldn't get Run Time license for 'ChartFX.WPF.Chart" on the workstations without installed trial version, full error stack can be found below.

For the license to be included on the project you must compile the code that instantiates the chart as an executable. If this is not how you plan to use the chart, an alternative is to instantiate a dummy chart in the executable that loads the components where your real chart are created. Would this be an option for you?
