User (Legacy) Posted March 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2002 ChartFX really is a nice product, but it also is a licensing nightmare. I'm not sure why there is a license validator on this at all since it's a free component, but... Just so you know, the license validator throws an exception consistently on Win98. It'll work on WinNT/2000/XP just fine. It's not a huge deal, but we still have some customers out there that use Win98, so it would be nice if this were fixed. It would be even better if you'd remove licensing all together [for this free component, of course. You obviously need licensing for your retail stuff]. It would also be helpful if you would recompile the ChartFX.Lite control with the following line in your AssemblyInfo.cs file: [assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en-US")] By adding this simple line, you add a huge performance boost for developers distributing their apps as "href-exes", that is .NET WinForm apps launched from a web link. By adding that attribute, you'll short circuit the runtime's irritating habit of searching for culture-specific resource DLLs. Other than those two issues, I really like the component and plan to buy the retail version when it's released. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted March 5, 2002 Report Share Posted March 5, 2002 The licensing nightmare was caused by a couple of bugs and we hope the new build (available now) fixes all these issues. Please let us know if the new build continues exhibiting problems in Win98. About the NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute, we appreciate your feedback, this will be added to the next build. -- Regards JC Software FX Support "Rev.
