NullReferenceException when Legend is placed inside Plot Area

[sonofaforester]

When I place the Legend inside the Plot Area I get NullReferenceException at runtime. Take the PassingData example and simply set the LegendBox to be inside the chart area and it occurs.

Any suggestions?

Have you checked when the NullReferenceException occurs? I tested placing the legend inside using XAML

<cfx:Chart Name="chart1" Border="{x:Static cfx:Borders.Classic}" Palette="{x:Static cfx:Palettes.Basic}" Style="{x:Static cfxmotifs:Simple.Style}">   <cfx:Chart.LegendBox>   <cfx:LegendBox cfx:Chart.TargetPanel="Inside" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>   </cfx:Chart.LegendBox></cfx:Chart> 

I also tried using code in the Page_loaded method instead of XAML as follows

Chart.SetTargetPanel(chart1.LegendBox, "Inside");chart1.LegendBox.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;chart1.LegendBox.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;

Both ways worked fine. If you try any of these and they fail you might want to download our most recent hotfix.
