Xaml Parse Exception, error in Designresources.xaml

[EdGonzalez]

Hello,

ChartFX causes an XAML parse exception at window creation.

I'm evaluating ChartFx and I'm attempting the basic step of creating a single window with a chart. I'm using version 8.0.3422.28509 of the ChartFX.WPF dll. The xaml for my window is copied below, along with the exception I receive.

It is important to note that all of the samples run fine. I can load their solutions, build, and interact with them.

It is also important to note that I am testing two other chart controls. Each control is being tested in its own window. If I disable the other two windows, then ChartFX does not throw an exception. This leads me to believe that ChartFx and at least one of the other charts are causing some conflict. The other charts I'm reviewing are Syncfusion and ComponentOne.

Please, look into this issue.

We think this might be a Chart FX issue where we mistakenly used a 3.5 SP1 only API and it has been fixed in later builds.

You can download our most recent hotfix here (make sure you run IE as an Administrator if UAC is enabled). If you still experience this after upgrading please post or send a sample app that reproduces the issue.
