[roei.attias]

Hi!

I have deployed my Chart FX .NET 2005 project to my live server which has the required Chart FX installation, and when trying to browse it from IIS, the chart starts rendering and then it throws an error, Please help!!!!!!!!!!

The Error:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

This exception is being thrown by the Chart FX Internet Client control because the format of the file it is reading from your server is incorrect. In particular, the version of the file is greater than the version of the client control. This is probably due to a setup problem.

The Chart FX assemblies in your application's bin folder seem to be newer than those in the Chart FX Installation Folder. Maybe because you downloaded a Service Pack in your development machine and not in the server.

The versions for ChartFX.WebForms.dll in your application's bin folder and the version of ChartFX.NETIEClient.dll in Chart's Download folder must be the same.

I get the exact same error message and I have verified all assembly versions are the same.  What else could it be?

Those are the exact same versions as in C:\program files\Chart FX for Visual Studio 2005\ChartFX70\Download 

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

We had a problem similar to this one. We applied a service pack and the version of ChartFX.WebForms.Base.dll was updated in the C:\Program Files\Chart FX for Visual Studio 2005\bin folder but not the C:\Program Files\Chart FX for Visual Studio 2005\ChartFX70\PSS\bin folder. We made sure all copies of the dlls were the same versions in all locations and everything started working.

The version of the server dll (ChartFX.WebForms.dll) must also match that of the client control.

[conradcreel]

 This is run on my development machine through VS 2005.

 {My App}/bin/ChartFX.WebForms.dll is version 7.0.2664.18534,

{My App}/chartfx70/download/ChartFX.NetIEClient.dll is version 7.0.2664.18534

 I just started using this component so I assume that's what you're referring to.  Both the assembly versions match, and the *.Base.dll match as well, only the last 3 digits of those are 353 not 534.

It is in this server that you need to check the version. The client control is NOT taken from *My App)/chartfx70, it is taken from a GLOBAL Virtual Folder: /chartfx70, this folder point to <chart Fx installation folder>/chatfx70, it is the version of the client components here what matters.

Unlike the client components, the server components are taken from (MyApp)/bin

So you must make sure that THESE versions are ok. Any service pack that you installed in your dev. computer you must install in the server.

You can verify the version that is installed in the client by running;

gacutil /ldl

I assume you were replying to me.  However, I am not the original poster.  The original poster deployed to a live server, I was getting that same error on my dev machine just using the builtin web server in VS 2005--so the only assemblies I verified were those in my project's bin and those in Program Files.  Though, I have given up on this issue and decided to just render as Image (as we also have users using Firefox which won't display using the .net renderer), so no worries.

 

Thanks,
