I have been having a consistent problem in my application which mixes a number of different thchnologies, older COM components with .NET C# assemblies, and TeeChart 5 and TeeChart for .NET in the same application. Under many circumstances when a new chart is instantiated I get an arithmetic overflow or underflow exception thrown from within the .NET Framework font processing. Have you seen this behavior? Do you know what library incompatability I might be encountering?

Thanks

Hi Jack,

Where does the error come from, TeeChart Pro ActiveX o Microsoft .NET Framework? Have you debugged your application and been able to guess that?

Sorry I'v been away from it...

The exception is actually generated from a function in the .NET Framework font class. It appears to be trying to load a new font object. That is about all I can see in the Framework.

The error only appears to happen when I try to instantiate the TChart object using TChart for .NET AFTER I have already loaded a chart using TChart for ActiveX 5.0. I have also seen it in another function when I am going the other way, trying to load a Win32 window control after displaying a TChart for .NET chart.

I have been working around it by enclosing the instantiation in a try / catch block to trap the execption and then immediately re-perform the instantiation. The exception apprear to clear after it is thrown, I am assuming by unloading the offending font object.

Hi Jack,

Could be possible for you to send us an application we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here? Also have you tried downloading TeeChart Pro v7 ActiveX evaluation version to see if your problem still occurs with that version?
