Steema Central

Hello,

I saw there is a new release for version 1. But where is the offical new release for version 2, which supports fully (although) installation VS 2005.

Is the support of the older versions more im important.

Best regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

We are finishing next TeeChart for .NET v2 maintenance release with the VS.NET 2005 installer included. We expect it to be ready before the end of this week. For more information please be aware at those forums.

Hi Andres,

TeeChart for .NET v2 maintenance release, including a Microsoft .NET v2.0 Framework build version, was published yesterday as announced here.

After installing the new version I got this error message when I open the designer with a teechart inside :

Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'Steema.TeeChart.Styles.StringList'.

at Steema.TeeChart.Import.Imports.DeserializeFrom(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
at Steema.TeeChart.Chart..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)



After compiling the new version I got this error message :

Error 6 The "GenerateResource" task failed unexpectedly.
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Type in the data at line 311, position 5, cannot be loaded because it threw the following exception during construction: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'Steema.TeeChart.Styles.StringList'. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Type in the data at line 311, position 5, cannot be loaded because it threw the following exception during construction: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[]' to type 'Steema.TeeChart.Styles.StringList'.

What should I do ? I can't use my diagrams anymore.

Hi Andreas,

Are you upgading a VS2003 project with teechart to VS2005 or are you creating a new VS2005 project?

Is there any way you can send us a series of steps or some code that we can use here to reproduce your problem?

Many thanks!!

Hello Christopher,

it is an upgraded VS2003 project. But I used before the Teechart Version 2.0.2040.15119 and it worked.
Now after installing the new version it got these message.
When I create a new teechart I d'ont have these problems.

I will look if I can send you a part of the code but it is not so easy.

Best regards

Andreas

Hello,

May I suggest that you have a look in your code, including the code in the InitializeComponent() method, for any reference to the Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Series.Labels property. Try commenting out such code to see if you still get the same problems.

Hello,

I have found the problem. Something was wrong with the .resx file. After replacing the setting .Chart it works now.

I don't know why it works before, because I moved the project to VS2005 before 2 month.

Best regards

Andreas

I want to upgrade from VS2003 to VS2005.

The error message I got is:

I also change the teechart version!

The version of teechart under VS2003 is 1.1.1499.42325.
The version of teechart under VS2005 is 2.0.2179.21172.
Any ideas?

Thanks for all Detlef

Hi Detlef,

The version of teechart under VS2005 is 2.0.2179.21172.

This version you are using is about one year old. Could you please download the latest maintenance release, we posted last week, from the client area and test if this solves your problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all!

I installed the new Version (2.0.2511.18118) and it's still the same.

Well I think, there is a problem reading the teechart properties out of the resx - file. The properties are saved as a binery stream. The new version can't read these stream.

Is it possible to save the properties not as binery?
Or is there an other solution?

Thanks for all

Detlef

Hi Detlef,

Could you please send us a simple example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You can post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: Have you tried what ALindenthal suggested in his last post?

Hi all!

I've three application. At two of these application I've no problem. Only one makes this problem.

I read the last post of ALindenthal, but I don't know exactly what he means.

What do you need exactly? If I made a simple example, everything works fine !?

Hope of your ideas!

Thanks Detlef

Hi Detlef,

Whith versions changes new objects are added to .resx file. Just try removing Steema.TeeChart.Styles.ColorList references from the .resx file that produces the error.
