User (Legacy) Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I get a box with the text "Error Creating Control - Chart 1" in my .aspx design window while using .NET wizard in my web form to create a combination chart. It didnt seem to put anything into the code page except a declaration for chart1. I can create other charts ok. What does this mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User (Legacy) Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 A Web form tab or widget (what ever you call it) is created on the WebForm design view. The widget has the following text on it: Error Creating Control - Chart1. Here are the steps I took to get this error: -Drag the Chart icon from the Toolbox - Web Forms tab to the design page (brings up chart FX wizard). -Select Combination from the dropdown chart gallery list. -Double click on Bar - Lines image. -Click next. -Select Sky color palette -Click next -Select arch border style. -Click on Legends tab -Click on Show Legend Box -Click on the bottom position arrow (so the legend is at the base of the chart) -Click next -Enter chart title "Minutes" -click XAxis tab -Enter Title "Call Center" -click next -click finish The wizard disappears and I am looking at the control with the error text described above on the design page for the web form (I attached a screen shot).

User (Legacy) Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Contrary to my first post, this is happening with all charts. When I first installed ChartFX, I was able to play around with the designer, no problem.

User (Legacy) Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 I tried reinstalling and now when I drag the chart tool onto the design page, I immediately get the "Error Creating Control - Chart1" widget on my design page. No wizard. If I try and right click on the widget on my design screen and select the "Wizard" option from the menu, I get an exception thrown by the MS Development Environment: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation". I am very close to the end of the trial date, but still have sometime. As I said, this was working earlier. Could it be related to trial expiration? I have submitted the request for the purchase of your product, but need to continue to develop in the meantime.

Software FX Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Dear Brandon, I have seen this problem happen in this case and it might be your problem. You have added a chart then deleted it and are now adding another one. VS.NET thinks that there is no chart1 object when there really is one in the codebehind you will have this in the list of protected global variables when there clearly isn't a chart on the webform protected SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Server.Chart Chart1; VS.NET chooses the name of the object to Chart and the number 1 but somehow doesn't realize there is a Chart1 object already declared in the codebehind. It is obviously a VS.Net issue. A quick check here is to create a completely new web application and drop a chart! Let me know if creating a new project from scratch solves your problem. It creating a new project works please verify that in your suspicious project that there is no duplication there. It cannot have anything to do with the trial nearing end. I am almost positive it is a project issue. Hope this helps! -CJS "brandony" <brandony@sorenson.com> wrote in message news:2XW9ZaEZEHA.3152@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > I tried reinstalling and now when I drag the chart tool onto the design > page, I immediately get the "Error Creating Control - Chart1" widget on my > design page.
