Forgot to mention, The Resource Center says I have the latest version available.

I have a single series bar chart which when hove over a bar causing it to highlight, it produces an invalidcast unhandled exception. It seems to be a problem with the template I am using to load the chart properties. If I just use the default properties (ie do not load the template) it produces a line chart. this highlights points with no problem. If I change it to a bar chart and hover over a bar, it highlights the bar successfully. If I use a template I get the described error. I also found that if I clear the highlight it prevents the exception occurring. The error message is "Unable to cast object of type 'ChartFX.WinForms.Internal.SeriesPointIndex' to type 'ChartFX.WinForms.AxisX'."

The usage details say that the conversion tool is for converting version 6.2 templates. I have already converted my templates to version 7 successfully. I am now trying to upgrade to the latest version of 7. Do my templates need converting again?

How do I check whether all series' legends are able to be seen in the legend box, ie that the size of the font allows all series legends to appear in the box?

Last week I upgraded to the latest version of Chart FX (version 7). All was well until I tried to use a saved template where I got the error 'The given assembly name or codebase was invalid.' Do my saved templates have to be converted to work on the new version like they did when I upgraded before. Is there a conversion tool? I cannot see one in the install directory.
