[InvalidCast Unhandled Exception]

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

[InvalidCast Unhandled Exception]

 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'."

[Chart FX 7 Upgrade problem]

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?

[Size of Legend Box Font]

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?

[Chart FX 7 Upgrade problem]

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.
