chrisnolan Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 I am in the process of converting a project to use Chart FX for VS 2005. The project makes use of chart templates extensively. The documentation mentions a tool for converting binary templates in the 'migrating from 6.2' section, however I am unable to find it or any other reference to it. Please point me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Chris, I apologize for the lack of documentation on this tool. It can be found inside the Util folder of your installation folder (C:\Program Files\Chart FX for Visual Studio 2005\Util). The file you are looking for is ChartFX.Winforms.Exporter.exe. A webform version is also available (ChartFX.WebForms.Exporter.exe). For instructions on who to use it, try running the executable with the following parameter:ChartFX.Winforms.Exporter.exe /help AndreG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnolan Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 AndreG, Thanks for this, however it doesn't seem to work. My 6.2 templates are in xml format. The resulting converted template looks nothing like the original. When I run the conversion in verbose mode I get an error 'Error when exporting the chart'. Also 'Error in importing ChartFX 6.2'. See attached for a screenshot of the verbose output and one oof the input templates. I'm sure you understand I do not want to have to recreate these manually as I have hundreds.

chrisnolan Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I tried converting binary template files instead of xml with the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 It looks like the converter could not find the Chart FX 6.2 assemblies. Make sure you have all the Chart FX 6.2 assemblies and Chart FX 7 assemblies in the same folder as the command-line program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnolan Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks Frank. That gets the conversion completing successfully. Looking at the results I see that the converted charts are missing their chart and axis labels and also whether the legend is visble and where it should be placed. Why is this?

chrisnolan Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Also, it's not converting the series style, number of y axes and axes force zero properties. I'm sure there's more but those are the ones that are immediately obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
