User (Legacy) Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hi I had a fully functional VS2003 version with CFX 7 with financial extension installed. All worked fine and was easy to setup with the wizard. That was then... New Machine, Clean XPSP2 Install. I have installed VS2005 with the new CFX8 and Financial extension. But nothing works. I can get as far as adding a chart to a webform, but cannot add the financial extension. It says I have to restart VS2005. I do that, and then try to add it again, but it doesn't add, and when I go back to the extension addin, it shows that none is selected. What am I doing wrong here... Where is my damn wizard...lol I really need some pointers here...

Software FX Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Dear Gerhard, Just to clarify a bit ... ChartFX for .NET 6.2 works with VS2003 and VS2005. ChartFX for Visual Studio 2005 works only with VS2005. Lots of versions, lots of numbers I know it is confusing. Normally, when you add the Financial Extension a new entry is added on the bottom of the design surface. It should be named Financial1 That object has a property Chart. And after you close and open VS 2005 the Chart property should be set to your Chart1. Can you get this far? Can you Add other extensions like Annotation? Statistical? Maps? Have you tried applying the latest service pack? -c "Gerhard McDonald" <gerhard@cybermac.co.za> wrote in message news:qcE7fTutGHA.2444@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > Hi > I had a fully functional VS2003 version with CFX 7 with financial > extension > installed.

Software FX Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Correction, In webforms it is not at the bottom rather it is a separate control on the Design Surface that doesn´t draw. It is similar to a data control. It should say <Bold>Financial</Bold>-Financial1 -c "SoftwareFX Support" <support@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:eq6wVTztGHA.2276@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > Dear Gerhard, > Just to clarify a bit ...

User (Legacy) Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi We have moved over from CFX 6.2 to 7 (VS2005) and moved over to VS2005 as well. I reformatted the drive, started clean with only CS2005 and the new CFX7 with Extenions Loaded. So I´m building my webchart from scratch as the upgrading did not go well at all and I have had numerous licencing issues with the new chart control on VS2005. I don´t see the control added at all. I am using the latest service pack. Every time I want to add the Financial extension it gives me the error that VS2005 has to be restarted. I´ve attached an image for yout to see.

Software FX Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 That message is normal, it happens when the extension is first added to the project, however, after you follow the instructions there: close Visual Studio (saving your project) and re-starting, you should get the extension in your form and the chart connected to it. Notice that the extension is an "non visual" control, so if you have your settings so that non visual controls are not shown, you won't see it in your designer (this option is in the Visual Studio View menu when you are in the designer). But even if you don't see the extension in the design surface, it should still be there and the chart attached to it. You will see this when you show the Task List again, there will be an option for configuring the Financial Extension. If you are not getting this behavior, it is likely that you have some kind of version mix-up. 1) Where did you install Chart FX Financial from ? 2) Is the Financial Extension dll added to your references. If it is, check the version of it, it should be the same as ChartFX.Webforms.dll except for the last group of numbers. 3) If the extension is not added to the references, look for the file in the Chart FX Installation folder, under bin and check the version there. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi There The only extension that can be added is the annotations. Once added, it shows the annotation´s "non-visual control" button. I installed both ChartFX and Extensions from the CD´s we got from you. One thing I have to mention is that after I installed the CFX2005 I Installed The Extensions, But It did not want to install, as it said the other controls have to be upgraded first and that I should download the service pack, which I did. So I installed the service pack, which upgraded all controls to version 7.0.2330 except the extensions, which it could not find because they were not installed yet. I then installed the extensions. And now if I look at my service pack installer, it shows that the extensions are greyed out. And In the resource center it says the extensions are not installed. But yet I can add only the annotation extension in VS2005. So What now? I have added three images: 1. AddedExtensions.jpg: Shows the extensions referenced. 2. ChartAnnotationOnly.jpg: Shows how the Annotation Control is displayed but not the financial. Although both were selected one by one. 3. SFXProdInfo.jpg: Shows the versions as seen from the upgrade prodinfo screen. Note how all extensions are greyed out. Is this normal?I am no uninstalling both and will try to reinstall again to see if the problem goes away...RegardsGerhard"SoftwareFX Support" <noreply@softwarefx.com> wrote in message news:Dh8rwZ9tGHA.2136@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > That message is normal, it happens when the extension is first added to > the > project, however, after you follow the instructions there: close Visual > Studio (saving your project) and re-starting, you should get the extension > in your form and the chart connected to it. > > Notice that the extension is an "non visual" control, so if you have your > settings so that non visual controls are not shown, you won´t see it in > your > designer (this option is in the Visual Studio View menu when you are in > the > designer).

User (Legacy) Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi I have removed both versions. I Re-Install ChartFX for VS2005. 1. Everything looks great. In The Resource Center It shows My Serial Number and that no Extensions Are Installed. Perfect. 2. The Standard Charting Also Works Great in VS2005. I try to Re-Install Extensions. It firstly comes up with an error that version 7.0.2330 needs to be installed before I can install this version. I install the update which I donwloaded from your website. All Versions are now 7.0.2330 except for the Flash Generation and PSS Service that It Can´t seem to download. After The Update All Extensions are now shown greyed out on the Update Program. I now install the Extensions Pack. Installation Goes Fine. Now When I Open the resource center, the Serial Number Shows N/A And It still shows no extensions are installed. I Go Into VS2005. Can Add A Chart. Can Add Annotation, But Cannot Add Any Other Extension. It just does not display any other extensions. I am actually "de moer in" (Frustrated) that the two versions that was received from you were not compatible and that I had to download a patch before I could install the extensions. So what do you suggest now?

Software FX Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 The problem is definitely an installation issue. Unless you have the same version for the core and the extensions nothing is going to work. Now that you have v 7.0.2330 of the core, what is the version of your extension dll ? In your screenshot of SfxProductInfo, it shows that you have 7.0.2365 with is NEWER than 2330. Is this the version you install from the CD ? What CD is that ? Please contact Software FX Support, I don not know how you got 7.0.2365, and that is what's causing the problem. The extensions must be 7.02330 also. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 It is the ChartFX Extensions CD. Yip, that is the CD we bought from SoftwareFX.

Software FX Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 This is really baffling. I just checked random CD´s in our warehouse and they were all version 2330.

User (Legacy) Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I have contacted them and were given new download links. I have removed all traces of ChartFX tools as per instructions, and have reinstalled the two versions. It is working now and I can see all extensions and add them etc. Even the resource centre is showing them as installed etc. So Important Mental Note To Self: Check Versions!!!
