warez_Willy Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Sorry to be such a noob. I've recently upgraded chartfx and now my projects get error An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Could not load file or assembly 'ChartFX.WinForms.Base, Version=7.0.2664.18346, Culture=neutral, obviously I need to remove something , and add it again. Just need some specific info on what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximop Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 After you download and apply a Service Pack, you need to re-reference the ChartFX .dlls in your project. You can simply remove them from the Solution Explorer. Remove the chart, and drop a new one; or, you can remove them and add the new version through the Solution Explorer.

IGSFX Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Make sure the Specific Version property is set to false for all Chart FX assemblies. Visual Studio marks some assemblies as Specific Version true and when you upgrade it can't find the older assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warez_Willy Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Where and how do I set this property? On the chart object or in the project references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warez_Willy Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Yes I see the sense in that . But, ideally I don't want to have to do this as there is a bit of complicated customizing of the charts I don't really want to go through each time I upgrade. I think the problem is a setting that is forcing the assembly to look for a specific dll. which it can't find because it has been replaced (upgraded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusiMeli Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 You don't need to remove the charts! Before I upgraded, I opened the VS project. Under "References" you see ChartFX.WinForms, ChartFX.WinForms.Base and ChartFX.WinForms.Adornments. If you click on one of them, you can set "Specific version" in the Properties page to "false". I did this for all of them. Then I closed VS, installed the new ChartFX. No error after opening the project! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warez_Willy Posted December 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Yep I found this is possible even "after" upgrading chartfx. Just select the resources and set the specific version property to false. I assume then that future upgrades will not require this ??? since the assembly is not looking for a specific version .. there will be no error if an upgrade occurs..?? That being the case can I now assume that all upgrades will not require me to uninstall Chartfx or repoint my resources to new dll's..
