ChartFx AddPicture problem

[User (Legacy)]

I am in the process of converting a VB6 app to VB.NET and have run into a

small problem with ChartFx.

The code has converted with remarkable ease, with the exception that a

couple of lines of code (which work fine in VB6) cause the app to blow up:

Dim nIndex as Short

ChartFX1.Commands.AddCommand(306)

nIndex = ChartFX1.Commands.AddPicture(picTable.Image) <<< blows up here

Are there any known issues with AddPicture in .NET?

picTable is of type 'System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox'

TIA

I'm assuming you are still using Chart FX 5.x (COM). Right ?

If so, my guess would be that the Image can not be converted to a COM (OLE)

image. I will check how this works in interop.

You must know that we have a .NET version released for quite a while (since

before the release of the .NET framework), this is the recommended (and

fully supported) way of using Chart FX from a .NET application, since this

upgrade is available mo major testing have been done of using Chart FX COM

from a .NET environment.
