User (Legacy) Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Something broke. When I drag ChartFX from toolbox to a form nothing happens. I have all the required references. This has happened in my main project and also a blank Windows Forms project. What could be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 More info: I noticed that the ChartFX assembly version is 6.0.839. That is old. I upgraded to a newer version a long time ago. So I went to the update site and the updater says "Error" in the Version column for all components. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Should I just uninstall/reinstall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Ignore the info about the version numbers, I was looking at the 6.2 upgrade site, not the 6.0 site. Anyway, this still isn't working. I have reinstalled both ChartFX and Visual Studio.NET 2003 to no avail. When I drag the chart from the toolbox nothing happens. No error or anything. I need to get this working. I saw a similar post from someone else with the same problem but no answer was ever posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I have seen this problem and it almost always is a configuration issue. I can only give you hints as to what to try and even after the issue is solved I cannot pinpoint the reason. 1) Have you tried creating a new project? 2) If you are using an existing webform , when you do view code do you see a Chart object already there left over from a previous crash. That sometimes happens? Check the Member Objects that are private or protected. 3) Verify that you have no older versions of ChartFX mixing in with the new version. Check your Reference Paths in the Project Properties. 4) Please check the Version number in the Right Click in ToolBox -> Add Remove Items -> .Net Framework Components-> Assembly Name ListBox 5) Finally, Try deleting the ChartFX Icon from the ToolBox, closing Visual Studio, creating new project Adding ChartFX manually back to the tool bar. That might resolve the Issue. Try Winforms first! In short these problems are very rare and are almost always related to a configuration problem. I create new versions of ChartFX every day as I compile and only rarely do I have this problem. I have seen it though and have no reason to suspect it is a ChartFX issue/bug and in every case I saw it was my own error/mistake that caused the problem. Hope this helps. -CharlesS "None" <none@nowhere.com> wrote in message news:obaYvY%23NEHA.3152@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > Ignore the info about the version numbers, I was looking at the 6.2 upgrade > site, not the 6.0 site. > > Anyway, this still isn't working.

User (Legacy) Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 I've already tried all of your suggestions. When I drag a chart to a WinForm then three references are added (chartfx, ChartFX.Base, ChartFX.Borders) to the project but no chart appears on the form. Reference Paths is empty (that should be ok). Shouldn't a license.licx file be created? There is no file. I tried a WebForm but it will not let me drag the chart to the form.

User (Legacy) Posted May 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Just to be clear, I don't have 6.2 at all, just 6.0.

Software FX Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Chart FX 6.0 and 6.2 can live side-by-side so upgrading to 6.2 will not remove 6.0. Go to your project settings and set the reference path to be that of Chart FX 6.2. When you check the version of the assemblies in your references they all should read 6.2.*. In particular, you seem to be having a problem with one of the design time DLL, looks like while Chart FX 6.2 is being loaded in your project, the 6.0 designer is loaded by VS. Fixing the reference path and re-opening your project should fix that problem. -- FP Software FX Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 So I upgraded to 6.2 just to see if that may get it working again. Nope. At this point about the only thing left to do is to reimage the hard disk unless you have any more suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Check the following entry in your registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders\ChartFX 62] Is it pointing to Chart FX's bin folder ? Is the entry there at all ? -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
