Prevent Charting of Sample random data

[User (Legacy)]

When a chart has no data it charts a set of random data. This is obviously

highly undesirable when running a commercial application.  How do I prevent

any sample data being plotted?

To display no data you can do:

chart1.ClearData(ClearDataFlag.Data);

in your Form_Load.

Notice that we will only display random data if at the time of painting you

have set no data at all, if you set ANY data, random data will never be

assigned.

Sorry sent you .NET code, here is the VB 6 code:

Chart1.ClearData CD_DATA

This method did not seem to resolve the problem.

Instead I did as you suggest and ensured that the Channel was opened and

closed even if no data was actually plotted. This resolved the problem.

Thanks, Nick
