chartfx crashes in deployed app

[User (Legacy)]

Hello,

We are using ChartFX in a .NET 2.0 WinForms app.  We are using an XCOPY 

approach to deploy the necessary files.  The ChartFX assemblies that we are 

placing on the machine include:

ChartFX.Winforms.Adornments.dll

ChartFX.WinForms.Base.dll

ChartFX.WinForms.dll

We are using the latest released version of ChartFX also.  When we run the 

application, the graphing portion (that uses ChartFX) crashes with 

exceptions when it is being loaded.  We checked the licenses.licx file for 

the application and the ChartFX license information is correctly listed.  If 

we install ChartFX via its setup program ( a full install ), our application 

runs fine.  No crashes.

1) Are there other support assemblies that we need to install?

2) Is there some additional set of steps we need to do to ensure the 

components are recognized as licensed?

Note:  We are using Microsoft's Composite UI App Block toolkit which uses 

Reflection to create Views (forms) which contain controls.  We're not sure 

if its of Reflection to create the host form of the ChartFX control causes 

an issue in an XCOPY situation.  However, other 3rd party controls we are 

using on these forms are created just fine using an XCOPY style deployment.

Any ideas?

Thanks

We need more information in order to determine what the problem is:

- What is the specific exception that you are getting?

- If it is a licensing exception (which looks like the most likely scenario 

since everything works when you install the product). Is this a full version 

of Chart FX or is it a Trial Version or a Developer Studio version. Anything 

especial about your licensing ?

- You mentioned that you checked that the .licx file contains Chart FX´s 

info. Is this .licx included in the project executable (EXE). It is 

important that the license ends up in the resource for the EXE application 

not in any of the satellites assemblies. You can use ILDASM.EXE to view the 

resource of your EXE (in the manifest). You should see a resource named: 

<Name Of Your Exe>.exe.licenses.

- Does the name of your EXE contains any blank spaces? This causes a problem 

for .NET licensing mechanisms.

As far as the reflection situation, this should make no difference.

The problem was that we did not have ChartFX in our EXE.  We only use it 

from a .NET assembly dll.  Adding it to the EXE resolved the licensing 

problem.

Thanks
