NullReferenceException when adding Annotations to chart

[jbloomer]

I can add annotations to a scatter chart. I then want to reuse the chart and so do:

this.chart1.ClearData(SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ClearDataFlag.AllData);
this.chart1.Extensions.Clear();

but when I add another annotation I get the following exception:(Running on Vista and .Net 1.1)

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi jbloomer

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

When you try to add the annotation to the chart, does the chart contains any data?  You are removing the data from the chart (this.chart1.ClearData(SoftwareFX.ChartFX.ClearDataFlag.AllData)) and maybe you are attaching the annotation to some specific point.  Please verify this.

 

If you continue with issues, please contact Software FX Support at support[at]softwarefx.com.  Please attach a simple project showing the issue.
