System.OverflowException: Overflow error in the .NET control with Pie Charts

[DanielL_550]

 Francisco,

We are getting overflow exceptions when rendering Pie Charts with the .NET Control. We don't always get the exceptions, it is just with certain data with certain controls on the screen. This is the stack trace.

I have attached a project that shows the problem. The data is in an XML file. When you run the application as-is, it will  throw an OverflowException.  If you change the StartAngle attribute value to 45 in the <chartfx7galleries:Pie> tag in the .aspx file then it will render okay. When you display the Toolbar and then click the 3D button, it will throw an exception.  Different data will cause the exception at different start angles so I can

Francisco,

Were you able to duplicate this exception?

Thank you.

Is someone looking into this issue?  I've been having the same problem.  In fact, the original poster's test application is exhibiting the exact same behavior that I've been seeing.  I haven't been able to find any kind of work around that works for all cases.  I've tried changing various attributes such as the font size and start angle, which may fix the problem for the current data but throws an overflow exception for different data.  As a result, I can't reliably use the Pie Chart.  Even though it works fine most of the time, I never know when it's going to crash.

Could we please have a status as to whether or not any progress is being made on this issue by SoftwareFX staff?

Thank you.

Francisco,

Can someone look at this issue to see what we are doing wrong? We have a customer that really needs us to get this fixed. Is there something else I need to provide to you so you can duplicate this problem?

Thank you.

We have determined this to be a bug and we will include a fix in the next Service Pack.

Thank you Francisco. We really appreciate it. I will contact support for the service pack. You have a great product and it is very rare that we find issues like this one. Thank you for the excellent customer support.

 Hi,

 We are getting a very similiar error for our charts.  Here is the stack trace:

 We are using version 6.2.1486.27906.  Is this fixed in a later version?

Our team was able to correct this problem by not setting the extent of the AxisSystem to Infinity. Apparently this causes the chart to display with a red X and then crash with the same error.
