Dynamic creation of a series

[User (Legacy)]

I am porting an application from 6.2 VS2005.

This application created series and panes on the fly through code.

It no longer seems possible to add a series dynamically.  Although it works 

in the init code of a form, it no longer functions after the .EndInit 

sequence in the Designer generated code:

I built a chart with 3 series / 3 Panes

//Works - add 4th pane

ChartFX.WinForms.SeriesAttributes seriesAttributesTT1 = new 

ChartFX.WinForms.SeriesAttributes();

this.chart1.Series.Add(seriesAttributesTT1);

// EndInit also resets the series count to the original number of 3

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)(this.chart1)).EndInit();

//Fails - does not add the series

ChartFX.WinForms.SeriesAttributes seriesAttributesTT2 = new 

ChartFX.WinForms.SeriesAttributes();

this.chart1.Series.Add(seriesAttributesTT2);

Dear Tom,

You need to set chart1.Data.Series to 4 BEFORE you add the 4th series.

chart1.Data.Series = 4;

SeriesAttributes seriesAttributesTT2 = new SeriesAttributes();

chart1.Series.Add(seriesAttributesTT2);

I clearly see the confusion and I will bring it up in a discussion as to how 

we should address this issue.

Regarding your other statement "It no longer seems possible to add a series 

dynamically" I think are referring to the fact that you can no longer just 

ask for a seriesattributes at index 4 and expect it to be there. You HAVE to 

physically ADD the item in the collection for and this change is throughout 

chartfx.

To add a series dynamically do:

chart.Data.Series++;

You do not need to add it to the Series Attributes collection 

(chart.Series), the Series Attributes collection is automatically 

synchronized with the number of series in the data.
