RetroMan Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hello, Our IT department recently pushed .NET 4.5 to many users at my company, and now ChartFX is not rendering for any of them in our web app. The charts display this error message: "Chart FX: .NET Active client requires Internet Explorer and .NET Framework 2.0 or greater installed on the client computer." Obviously 4.5 is greater than 2.0, so I have to assume ChartFX does not support .NET 4.5. Is this the case? I can hardly find anything in my searches related to ChartFX and .NET 4.5. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroMan Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I should add that it fails to render when RenderFormat is ".NET" (which is what we need to use.) Need some help on this... I can't believe SoftwareFX has nothing regarding .NET 4.5 anywhere on their website. Not a word. Not a peep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varungupta Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hello, I'm from .NET Framework Compatibility team. I would like to help take a look. Could you contact me at netfx45compat at Microsoft dot com? Regards, Varun Gupta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroMan Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 E-mailed you two weeks ago. Haven't received a reply yet.So, SoftwareFX... how about that .NET 4.5, huh? Currently replacing your chart with Telerik RadChart. You should probably mention .NET 4.5 somewhere on your website. Notes on compatibility would be a nice start.

AndreG Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hello RetroMan, First of all I would like to apologize for the issues you are experiencing while using our component with the latest version of .NET. Please know that we do take these matters very seriously and with the help of Varun Gupta we were able to pin point the issue. As designed by Microsoft, .NET browser hosting controls are not allowed once .NET 4.5 is installed on a machine. This is done for security reasons and applies to every .NET control. Software FX has no control over the new restriction. Varun has pointed us to a link that explains compatibility in the .NET Framework 4.5: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh367887.aspx. As you can see from the link, the previous behavior can still be obtained by modifying a key in the registry. We have tested the workaround and found it to fix the issue.

RetroMan Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sadly, modifying the registry for hundreds of users (and disabling a security feature, no less) is not a viable option. In any case, thank you for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Have you considered rendering the chart as an image? Through Ajax there is a lot of interactivity that was implemented, without the security flaws of a .NET object in the browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
