Access violation error

Dear Sirs,

My managed application is using Cfx Client Server 6.2 through COM interop. It sometimes closes with an Access violation error. Managed stacktrace looks like this:


Using WinDbg, I have found that the exception happens in ChartFX.ClientServer.Core.dll:


Unmanaged stack is shown like this (although it may be incorrect since I don't have debug info):

 
Can you tell me if it's possible to find out which .dll function gets called in that moment( in the COM dll)? 
This usually happens when switching tabs, so I guess it happens during repaint.I hope that by finding this I could narrow the problem (I am using constant lines, regions,multiple axes+panes, filled area between series, lots of stuff), so I hope that it may at leastbring me closer to the point of fault.

Update:

I have added the PrePaint, GetAxisLabel and PostPaint event handlers to see what gets executed, and I can see that when the exception is thrown, only PrePaint gets fired.

In other cases, all three events are fired. The exception happens sometimes when I am switching tab pages in my form, just before the chart is painted.

I found out that this happens if I try to use Axis.Zoom(min, max) or Axis.SetScrollView(min, max), before Chart starts to actually paint itself. It then crashes on next repaint.

If I set the axis zoom after the PostPaint event, it will flicker once before it's zoomed, so is there another way I can set the axis zoom programatically, before the chart is painted?

I am sending a simple Test app, hoping that someone will finally reply. It's a .NET C# app using Cfx Client Server 6.2.


public Form1()
{
  InitializeComponent();
  this.Load += new EventHandler(Form1_Load);
}


void UpdateChart()
{
  // clear chart
  chart.ClearData(ClearDataFlag.ClearDataFlag_AllData);

  // fill list data provider with some data
  ListDataProviderClass listProvider = new ListDataProviderClass();
  object xAxisData = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
  object yAxisData = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
  listProvider.AddCollection(ref xAxisData);
  listProvider.AddCollection(ref yAxisData);

  // enable data editor
  chart.DataEditor = true;

  // bind
  chart.DataSource = listProvider;

  // zoom programatically
  chart.Zoom = true;
  chart.AxisX.Zoom(2, 8);
  chart.AxisY.Zoom(2, 8);
}


void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // call it twice
  UpdateChart();
  UpdateChart();
}


Note that I am deliberately calling the code twice, before it gets painted. Our app has an interface where user can select lots of data from a tree-view and in some cases, when chart is updated before it gets time to repaint, then it crashes with an access violation.
