User (Legacy) Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I have been using ver. 6.2.1486 since the service pack came out. Today, for the first time in a couple of months, I added a new ChartFX control to a blank form at design time, from the toolbox. Instead of the Wizard appearing, I received the message, "Exception has been thrown by the source of an invocation." The version of VB.NET is 7.1.3088 and the .NET framework is 1.1.4322. In the interim I had installed some other components in VB.NET, so thinking that the ChartFX installation was corrupted, I proceeded to uninstall ChartFX and then remove the residual .dll's and registry entries. I also had uninstalled the other add-on that was there when I first encountered this problem (so ChartFX is now the only installed add-on). I then reinstalled 6.2 from the CfxNetWinForms.exe 6.2 upgrade installer and then updated to .1486 through the online service pack installer. No luck--I still get this error. I checkd the .dll versions in program files\ChartFX for .NET 6.2\bin.as well as those that got automatically copied into the application's \bin folder (all 1486) and I checked the state of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\.NETFramework\assemblyfolders\ChartFX6 .2\ key, where the default value is C:\Program Files\ChartFX for .NET 6.2\bin. Note that the code I already have still runs inside the VS.NET development environment. Only if I invoke the Wizard, either by dropping a new control or by right-clicking an existing one and selecting 'Wizard..." do I see this error. There's also no problem with adding a ChartFX control at run-time. Please lend some assistance in straightening this one out. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Quick Workaround so that you can create new charts Add/Modify the following registry key Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Software FX, Inc.\ChartFX for .NET\6.2 Name: ShowWizard Value: 0 (as a REG_SZ) To fix this problem (and be able to use the wizard again) please post the file versions of ChartFX.dll, ChartFX.Wizard.dll and ChartFX.Designer.dll (all in the bin folder). Also make sure you do not have any outdated ChartFX assemblies in the GAC (we do not recommend adding any of our assemblies in the GAC) -- Regards, JC Software FX Support "J.
