User (Legacy) Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 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?

Software FX Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 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. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 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.
