I tried that too, but IE7 was crashing on me when trying to download the hotfix. I think I even installed IE8 and it still crashed. Is this supposed to work with 3D surface charts too ? I couldnt get it to, for that reason I wrote some rudimentary code to provide zoom features. When the user selects a range, the property Points.Value of type array is updated with a new sliced array. I do not set ItemsSource again, since the Value property supports INotifyPropertyChanges. This suffices to trigger a redraw of the graph, even though the array type does not supprot INotifyCollectionChanged. I do not change any of the data transforms either. Thanks

I finally got access to a computer where I can allow ActiveX controls (sort of) and after installing the hotfix, the problem with the DataView is still there. However I managed to better identify it. There were two separate issues: The checkbox that toggled the dataview on and off was changing its visibility from Visible to Hidden. Using Collapsed instead of Hidden fixed the visual corruption which ocurred when hiding the chart and making it visible again. My bad In order to provide zoom functionality, I allow the user to select the ranges of the axis, implemented by slicing the data array. This works fine with the Chart itself, but the dataview dissapears when shrinking the ranges and throws an OutOfBounds exception System.Windows.Data Error: 16 : Cannot get 'Data' value (type 'IEnumerable') from '' (type 'ItemsSourceHolder'). BindingExpression:Path=Data; DataItem='ItemsSourceHolder' (HashCode=49594800); target element is 'DataGridItems' (Name=''); target property is 'ItemsSource' (type 'IEnumerable') TargetInvocationException:'System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range.

Hopefully the stack trace above can be useful to identify the issue. In case it helps, here is the XAML I use to declare the chart: <cfx:Chart Grid.RowSpan="2" x:Name="chart1" Gallery="Surface" Palette="{x:Static cfx:Palettes.Litmus}" ItemsSource="{Binding Points.Value}"> <cfx:Chart.Resources> </cfx:Chart.Resources> <cfx:Chart.DataTransforms> <cfxData:CrosstabTransform RowPath="X" ColumnPath="Y" ValuePath="Z"/> </cfx:Chart.DataTransforms> <cfx:Chart.Titles> <cfx:Title> <TextBlock FontSize="14" Foreground="#FFCCCCCC" Text="{Binding Path=Name}" Margin="0 20 0 0"/> </cfx:Title> </cfx:Chart.Titles> <cfx:Chart.View3D> <cfx:View3D IsEnabled="True"/> </cfx:Chart.View3D> <cfx:Chart.AllSeries> <cfx:AllSeriesAttributes> <cfx:AllSeriesAttributes.GalleryAttributes> <cfxGalleries:Surface ShowScaleInLegend="False" ShowContourLines="False" ShowPointsGridlines="False" ShowSeriesGridlines="False"/> </cfx:AllSeriesAttributes.GalleryAttributes> </cfx:AllSeriesAttributes> </cfx:Chart.AllSeries> <cfx:Chart.Series> <cfx:SeriesAttributes Fill="{StaticResource MyBlueGradient}"/> </cfx:Chart.Series> <cfx:Chart.DataView > <cfx:DataView Visibility="{Binding ElementName=Vol, Path=DataContext.DataVisibility.Value}" MaxHeight="150" /> </cfx:Chart.DataView> <cfx:Chart.AxisX> <cfx:Axis> <cfx:Axis.Title> <cfx:Title Content="X Axis"/> </cfx:Axis.Title> </cfx:Axis> </cfx:Chart.AxisX> <cfx:Chart.AxisY> <cfx:Axis> <cfx:Axis.Title> <cfx:Title Content="Y Axis" /> </cfx:Axis.Title> </cfx:Axis> </cfx:Chart.AxisY> </cfx:Chart>

Thanks JuanC, is there an alternative hotfix installer which does not require ActiveX ? I am afraid our corporate policy here disallows the use of ActiveX controls, and there is no workaround.

Hi, I have some time now to further look at this problem. I apologize for the formatting of my previous post, I didn't notice that you need to use HTML tags explicitly. I am going to try again in a following post. By the way, I noticed that the build of the trial version of ChartFX that I am using is pretty old. It is version 8.0.3581.26941dated from 2/22/2010. I don't see any options to download a more recent build. Any chances that I can get access to one so that I can verify whether the issue has been fixed already? Thanks.

I can't do that right now, deadline to current project is too close to spare a minute. But it should be easy to reproduce the behaviour, as I am not doing anything too advanced. Simply binding to an array of 3D points using a CrossTabTransform to shape them into series. Here is the XAML code if that helps: x:Name="chart1" ItemsSource="{Binding Data.Value}" Gallery="Surface" Palette="{x:Static cfx:Palettes.Litmus}" > ShowContourLines="False" ShowPointsGridlines="False" ShowSeriesGridlines="False"/> The first type of DataView odd behaviour (display corruption) happens after performing the following steps: 1. Bind to some initial data and display the chart with the DataView hidden 2. Make the DataView visible Fixed by forcing a redraw by e.g. resizing the window. ----------- The second type of DataView odd behavior (no dataview displayed, just an empty box) happens after performing the following steps: 1. Bind to some initial data and display the chart with the DataView hidden 2. Update the data changing the number of datapoints (the chart refreshes accordingly) 3. Make the DataView visible In order to fix it, I need to update the data to have the initial dimensions. Also, the problem doesn't happen if the DataView is visible.

Just FYI, another issue is that the Chart doesn't display correctly if I enable the DataView at runtime. Resizing the window to force an update does fix the problem.

Hi, I am using a Surface type chart with View3D enabled, and the default DataView made visible. My app has functionality for allowing my users to zoom, which is currently implemented (there might be a better/more appropriate way to do it. If so please point it out) by slicing the elements in the collection used as input source. Apparently the DataView table is not being regenerated after the input source changes its dimensions, and I either get graphical corruption or an incomplete table.
